Grand Canyon Synod Transition Team Annual Report: 2024

View reports for our 2024 assembly on our assembly mission and ministry stories page or in this collection of blog posts.

The Grand Canyon Synod Transition Team, led by Bishop Deborah Hutterer and key leaders, continues to guide congregations during a period of significant change in the call process. View their full annual report in this PDF.

As congregations adapt to new realities, including a limited number of potential candidates and various logistical challenges, the team has innovated by introducing Transition Consultants. These consultants assist congregations in crafting a Ministry Site Profile to aid in the search for new leaders, ensuring that congregations are well-prepared for their future pastoral relationships.

Despite these challenges, we celebrate the ordinations and new calls within our Synod since the last Assembly. For more detailed information on congregations currently in transition and our new rostered leaders, please visit our Synod’s website.
