Following a fruitful ten years as the Executive Director of the Missouri School of Religion, now the Mid-America Center for Ministry, Fran Schnarre has announced her retirement effective December 31, 2015.
Fran's dedication, hard work, and vision has led the school into a new future as the Mid-America Center for Ministry and has put the school on a solid financial foundation. However, because of the increased workload that it will take to reach the MCM vision, coupled with the lure of grandchildren and family, Fran has accepted a call to a new chapter in her life.
We are grateful for all she has done for the school ... and for her continued guidance over the next few months. And though she has given us plenty of notice, it will take some serious work to identify and to attract the next Executive Director. The position will be full time and calls for someone with strong financial development experience. We ask for your assistance as we begin our search to fill the position. Please share this job description with any potential candidates you feel may qualify to lead the Mid-America Center for Ministry in its mission to equip congregational leaders for Christian ministry. The posting for the position is below.
Thank you for your continued service, prayers, and support.
