During the month of June, our Rector/Lead Pastor, Ashley Mathews, will be away on sabbatical. She is healthy, her family is healthy, and so is our CTK staff. We believe that the ability to grant sabbatical leave is a sign of health for any church, and it is granted with a desire to ensure flourishing for the future.
Thanks to the good work of our Vestry, we have developed a thoughtful and gracious sabbatical policy for CTK's senior leaders in the hopes of creating sustainable rhythms of rest and renewal. Ashley was due for sabbatical when she came to CTK four years ago, and it is simply time for her to take some time away for creative reflection, study, prayer, and unhurried time with family.
Thankfully we have a team of wonderful pastors, clergy, and guest preachers ready to step in during her absence. But please do join us in offering prayers for Ashley and our CTK staff as she steps away. We are excited for all that the Lord has in store for this next chapter of life and we intend to enter into it healthy and whole!
