NPC Congregational Mission and Vision Study

Guided by the Holy Spirit, Northminster Presbyterian Church seeks to call a Co-Pastor to serve alongside its Pastor/Head of Staff, the Reverend Dr. Andrew (Andy) Ross, who will transition to emeritus status at a date to be determined. The Associate Pastor, the Reverend Kenneth (Ken) D. Skodiak, will retire at the end of 2024. After 29 years of wonderful ministry among us, we are sending Pastor Ken into retirement with great love. Now with joy and anticipation, we await to see what God has planned for Northminster Church. There is also joy as we reflect on the exciting story of Northminster’s witness in the Tucson community and as we study our opportunities for a fruitful future.

Holy Spirit from creation’s birth

Giving life to all that God has made

Let the fragrance of our prayers arise

Lead us on the road of sacrifice

That in unity the face of Christ

May be clear for all the world to see.
