No, in our system of church governance, pastors are elected directly by the members of the church. CTK will form a Pastoral Search Committee (PSC) made up of members of the congregation and church leadership who will lead this process. At the end of the process, the PSC will make a recommendation to the congregation for a candidate that the members will vote on. The Presbytery also has to approve the elected candidate as a final step in the process. Please check out the PSC’s web page for more information on where they are in the process.
