In 1989, during Rev. Mr. Vancook’s ministry, Jane Dunn was engaged by the church administration to fill a new position, Leadership Support. In 1997 Jane’s title became Christian Development Leader, a position she continues to hold today. Part of Jane’s workload also includes serving as Sunday School Superintend- ent. In 1992 Shelly Fortier was employed part-time to develop programs and to work with the youth of the church.
