Dear Pastor Stimson, on behalf of Word of Life Camp I would like to personally thank you and your team for partnering with us through our National Volunteer Program. We are so thankful for the gracious, hardworking group of people who came from CFC. The work you do, improving our camp facilities and properties is critical, and we could not do it without you. Because of your investment in our ministry, we are privileged, every year, to see young people and adults come to Christ. We consider you part of our team, and we look forward to partnering with you again in the years to come. Thank you so much!

Dr.SamuelThomas,HopegiversInterna8onal. One day my housework-challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to me, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?” "It depends," I replied. "What does it say on your shirt?” He yelled back, "University of Auburn.” Communication from the Search Committee The Process for our Co-pastor search 1. Search committee reviewed applicants and chose three that seemed to be good candidate prospects based on written information, interviews and references. 2. Each prospective candidate has been invited to preach at the a.m. services, meet with the elders and deacons, and get a chance for us to meet each other. This step is not a point of decision for the congregation. This visit is especially important for the leadership team to help them make a decision as to whom to invite back as the official Candidate. 3. After all three candidates have visited CFC, the elders and deacons, prayerfully and under God's direction, will make a decision to officially invite one man back as the Candidate for the Co-pastor. 4. Prior to the return visit, the congregation will receive background information on the Candidate. 5. Visit of the Candidate. Besides preaching and meeting with the leadership team, there will be more planned opportunities for the members at CFC to spend time with the Candidate and family. 6. Next is the point of decision for the congregation. After the visit the congregation will have an opportunity to vote on the Candidate. OUR PRAYERS ARE IMPORTANT AT EVERY STAGE IN THE PROCESS!!! Prayers for guidance and unity.
