About the Pastor Nominating Committee

As defined by the Presbyterian Church (USA), a Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) represents and is elected by the whole congregation.  This committee has the ultimate responsibility for nominating a minister to the congregation for election as the next pastor.

In fulfillment of that role, over a number of months, the PNC works through the pastoral search process, listening for the call of Christ and "participating in God's own choice" for our next Senior Pastor.

On September 7, 2025, the following members were elected by the congregation to serve on the PNC:

Cindy Esler

Jacque Foust

Jack Marsh

Cindy McCarthy

Marc Miller, Chair

Dorrit Nelson

Janet Yanushefski

On November 13, 2025, the PNC posted the Ministry Discernment Profile (MDP) with the Presbyterian Church (USA), providing prospective candidates for the position of Senior Pastor an overview of First Presbyterian Church of Naples and of what we are looking for in our next pastor.
