Search Committee Formation

Search Committee

At the February 16, 2008 meeting the Conference Council of the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ established a process for calling a conference minister search committee.

The search committee will be called as follows: One each from Eastern, Western, Prairie, and Fox Valley associations, and 2 from the Chicago Metropolitan Association.
