Pastoral Transition

The Polo Church of the Brethren on Oct. 3 officially installed Jeff Davidson as their new pastor. Jonathan Shively represented the district for the installation service. Jeff and his wife, Julia Gilbert, have been living in the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area. The Washington City Church of the Brethren has been their home base for a number of years, and Jeff has been part of the preaching and pastoral care ministry there. Jeff and Julia are both graduates of Bethany Theological Seminary. Jeff began his part-time ministry at Polo on Oct. 1. We welcome them to Polo and to the Illinois/Wisconsin District!
