Pastoral Relations

First Christian understands the stress concerns of our clergy, and the needs of the congregation. We have established Pastoral Relations Committees to provide positive support and encouragement while promoting effective church-pastor communications and relations.

Our Pastoral Relations Committees typically meet monthly to support the ministers and provide a regular channel of communication between the ministers and the congregation.  This process is deeply rooted in confidentiality, acceptance, and trust.

Pastoral Relations Committees are currently established for the following ministers:


  • Rev. Chris Shorow, Senior Minister – Contact: PRC Moderator Cherri Steele

  • Rev. Dr. Jerry Black, Associate Minister – Contact: PRC Moderator Greg Hall

  • Rev. Greg Bunton, Associate Minister of Student Ministries – Contact: PRC Moderator Steve Peterson

Members are welcome to contact PRC committee members to ask questions, share feedback or express concerns.
