As the council voiced their deep appreciation for Jay and his work, they voted unanimously to place the Rev. Dr. Scott Field in the position as the Wesleyan Covenant Association’s next President. Rev. Field gave a brief overview of what he sees as his tasks at hand as the new President. In a nutshell, the mission of the WCA is not over!
