Message from Personnel Chair Dave Warren

An Important Announcement from SLB Personnel Chair Dave Warren New Name & Restructuring of Staff For Mission & Outreach and OTR Campus On behalf of the Personnel Team and the Servant Leadership Board, I am excited to share an important update about the future of what has been known as our Mission & Outreach and Over-the-Rhine Campus (Grace on Race Street) ministries. As our church continues to grow in these ministry areas, we are transitioning to new titles to better reflect the partnerships and growth we are experiencing. This includes restructuring our staffing to better support this expanding work. Thanks to your generosity through the capital campaign, we are preparing to expand our OTR Campus through the development of a community hub, laundromat, and permanent emergency family shelter in partnership with Found House (formally Interfaith Housing Network). Along with the priorities of our Strategic Plan, increased engagement of serving alongside our local and global partners, and Christina Cotrone’s transition to medical school, this new staffing structure will help support the future of this important work.‌ Our team will now include:‌‌ Pastor of Community Ministry, Global Outreach, & OTR Campus, Rev.
