Molly has accepted a call to serve as Chair for a term length of two years, concluding on July 31st, 2025.

Dr. Christy Lang Hearlson, will continue to serve on the Children and Family Ministry Committee during the program year '23-'24 with her membership term concluding on July 31st, 2024. During her two years as Committee Chair, Christy has collaborated with a spirit of care and wisdom that have been instrumental for our programmatic and ministry growth. Molly and me look forward to Christy’s continued presence and collaboration in this new phase of our common work together.
