We are Pleased to Announce our Next Network Developer
After a thorough process of listening for the Lord, gauging interest, and interviewing a number of quality candidates, the TrueCity Leadership Team is delighted to introduce Alice Plug-Buist as our next Network Developer. We believe the Lord has brought Alice into this role for such a time as this, as we believe her experience in leadership, giftings, passion, and heart for cultivating unity will help the network continue to mature and thrive as Churches Together for the Good of the City.
A longtime resident of Hamilton, Alice is well known across the city for her passion for serving “the least of these” and helping Christians in the city grow in their love for God and neighbour. Previously, Alice served as the Executive Director for Helping Hands Street Mission on Barton Street, where she built robust relationships with church and city partners. Alice also has extensive executive leadership experience as a board member of City Housing Hamilton, the Barton Village BIA, and Indwell.
“It’s an incredible honour and joy for me to take on this role with TrueCity. Jesus prayed for me and for all of us just before he went to the cross, and his prayer was that we would be “together”, so that the world might know that God sent Jesus. I am excited to take up the task of encouraging churches across Hamilton to find ways to work together, toward the greatest good of our City.”
Departing Network Developer, Dave Witt shared, “I am very excited about Alice stepping into this role. She is a gifted, experienced leader who loves Hamilton, has a passion for Church unity, and a deep desire to see congregations living into their missional calling together.”
Current Leadership Team chair Mike Mileski weighed in, “Alice is a dear friend, a neighbour, and a co-labourer in the Gospel. It would be hard to overstate my respect for her. It would also be hard to overstate how much she loves this city. When I learned that it was Alice who had not only applied for the role, but was recommended by the Search Team, I may have burst out in song. I’m so grateful to the Search Team for their diligent, prayerful work, and to Dave for his faithful leadership for more than twenty years. I can’t wait to take the next steps with Alice leading TrueCity into the future!”
As Alice assumes the role over the coming months, she will be working closely with Dave and Kristi to ensure a smooth transition.
