Jan King moves to half-time position with General Board, takes up chaplaincy.

Jan King, the General Board's Congregational Life Team (CLT) coordinator for Area 1, has accepted a half-time position as chaplain at The Village at Morrison's Cove, a Church of the Brethren retirement center in Martinsburg, Pa. She will continue in the CLT role half-time. The move was made at King's choice to pursue her interest and education in the field of gerontology. The change is effective Feb. 1.

The board's Office of Human Resources reported that the services provided by Area One's team will be accomplished in a different manner but will not be reduced. The coordinator position's change to half-time was not prompted by budget constraints, reported the office, and consultants may be used to continue the current level of services.

King has worked for the board since 1997. She is the board's staff liaison to the Association of the Arts in the Church of the Brethren and has worked with Middle Pennsylvania District in developing a new resource, "Growing Faithful Disciples," which will be shared denomination-wide in January.
