Good afternoon...
My comments assume there is some missing information that might be helpful in providing an answer. The question indicates that the church is "technically" vacant, as per Church Order, even though it has two pastors. My assumption is that these pastors are not yet ordained CRC pastors. As such, the classis to which the church belongs should have assigned a church counselor to provide advice on the calling of a pastor; and classical pulpit supply, if requested by the church to deal with baptisms, communion, etc. I would recommend your church council contact the appointed church counselor to seek their advice on how to more forward on this matter. Alternatively, classis is also required to appoint church visitors to each church for advice and counsel. Your church council could also seek their advice.
