The First Step in the Search for our Future Rector: Understanding Who We Are

• Are you 16 years of age or older?
  
• Have you attended St. Christopher’s consistently over the past 12 months or longer?
  
• Would you like your impressions of the church to be included in the discernment process of calling our future rector?
  

By answering yes to these three questions the Search Committee invites you to participate in our work by taking an online survey known as the CAT (Church Assessment Tool). Our diocese strongly endorses the use of the CAT during the search process, viewing it as a powerful means of revealing who we are as a church and what directions are most important for our future. This assessment will help the Search Committee, and ultimately the future rector, understand the range of views that exist at St. Christopher’s, and the possibilities, willingness, capacity and energy for moving our collective ministry into the future.

All answers are strictly anonymous. Given your anonymity we hope that you’ll feel willing and able to candidly share your perceptions, opinions and experiences by answering the multiple-choice questions of the CAT.

Are there more members of your household that fit the criteria listed above? If the answer is yes, please be sure to share the link to the CAT so that their views are included.

Would you prefer to take a paper copy of the CAT? Not a problem. Contact any one of the Search Committee members below for a paper version, or to ask questions about this part of the process:

• Paul Clark, co-chair
  
• Paul Goyette, co-chair
  
• Linda Bolte
  
• Susana Cardenas
  
• Peg Curran
  
• Laura Jordahl
  
• Rebecca McFall
  
• Amanda Miller
  
• Sheryl Roche
  

Are you ready? Great! Set aside approximately 20 minutes of time to complete the CAT, as it must be entirely completed in one sitting.  The CAT will remain open until the end of July. Here is the link, and thanks!
