connecting the Community of Christ staff community

Ice Cream Social

Everyone is invited to an ice cream social on Wednesday, August 1 from 2:30-4:00 p.m. on the Auditorium east patio and lawn. There will be lawn games and office dress is casual to support the fun and fellowship of the social. 

Preaching Series

Beginning in August, a preaching series is scheduled at the Stone Church where the First Presidency, Apostle Stassi Cramm, and Seventy John Wight will give commentary on the inspired document now known as Section 163. As employees of International Headquarters, we play an integral part in the process of shaping the church’s vision, message, and mission of promoting the Peace of Christ.

Update on Redesign Positions

Human Resource Ministries has now completed the process of grading the redesign position descriptions. Memos have been sent to the individuals in these positions indicating the grade and salary of their position. If there are any questions about this process you may contact Scott Murphy, Director of Human Resource Ministries. We are truly appreciative of the patience that has been evident during this process.
