Transition

September 15, 2024 –
At the congregational meeting tonight (that followed the concert of prayer), the congregation voted to call Pastor Keith Sova as the next senior pastor of South Church (with 98% of the 368 votes cast in favor). Now we can join together to pray for God’s continuing blessing on our church and its ministries and for His gracious guidance for Pastor Keith as he serves the Lord by serving His church in this new way. More information about the transition will be shared soon.

September 1, 2024 – This is the official notice of the vote to elect Pastor Keith Sova as Senior Pastor of South Church

To the members of South Church, we would like to formally announce that a congregational meeting will be held to vote in person on the election of Pastor Keith Sova as Senior Pastor of South Church. We encourage all members in good standing to vote at this important meeting. Pursuant to the bylaws, “the right to vote on church affairs is limited to members in good and regular standing who have attained their sixteenth birthday”. The meeting will take place on September 15, 2024, in the Chapel during the 6:00 Evening Service. South has been blessed by Pastor Keith who has demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment. It is our hope that this vote will mark the beginning of a new era for South Church, and we ask that you prayerfully consider your vote in this matter. South Church appreciates your faithfulness and support.

As part of His service,
Brian Hudson
Deacon Board Chair
South Church

As a result of this official notice, all members are informed of the upcoming vote and are encouraged to participate in this significant decision.

July 28, 2024 – The Official Board has unanimously recommended Keith Sova as the next lead pastor for South Church. There will be a town hall meeting during the evening service on August 4, in which Pastor Keith will answer questions as Lead Pastor Candidate.

To hear more about the process that has led to this decision, future plans, Keith himself and what brought him into ministry, listen to the July 28 evening service, archived on our website. More information will be provided as the process continues.
