MERIDIAN, ID — The administrative staff at Calvary Community Church confirmed Tuesday that its official congregant emergency contact list, last updated in the spring of 2009, currently includes seven deceased members, four disconnected phone numbers, one active fax line, and a Blockbuster Video location that closed in 2013.

The list, discovered during a routine office reorganization, spans forty-one pages and was stored in a manila folder labeled “URGENT – CURRENT,” wedged between a 2007 church directory and a user manual for a copier the church no longer owns. A sticky note on the front reads “update soon” in handwriting staff have been unable to attribute to any living employee.

Church administrator Donna Fitch, 54, said she spent three days cross-referencing the list against the current membership roll before concluding the project was “spiritually beyond her pay grade.”

“Fourteen of these contacts are listed as ‘same as above,’ and I cannot find the original above anywhere in the document,” Fitch said. “Six entries just say ‘ask Gerald.’ Gerald passed in 2018.”

Senior pastor Mark Holloway, 47, called for the formation of a subcommittee to develop a timeline for drafting a process to begin updating the list. The subcommittee has not yet been formally named, though three volunteers have already declined.

“We want to be good stewards of this,” Holloway said. “These are people’s lives. Or were. We’re still determining that on a case-by-case basis.”

At press time, the subcommittee had held its first organizational meeting and voted unanimously to table the agenda until a quorum could be established.
