At the recent SBCAL Midwest Regional Associational Leaders Conference, Mark Elliott, DOM of the Heartland Church Network, Omaha, NE, led a workshop on helping churches in transition between pastors. It was excellent.
I recommend contacting Mark and adapting his research, experience, and workbook for your Pastor Search Committee process. He has developed a manual you can use to train Pastor Search Committees, and he is gracious to share it with you at no cost. Mark has also agreed to be part of our SBCAL Resource Network in this area. For more information, contact him at mark@heartlandchurchnetwork.org; 402-551-0608.
 
He unpacks Ten Proven Steps for Selecting the Right Pastor.
 
1. Determine the Church’s Needs and Goals
2. Receive Resumes
3. Prayerfully Review Resumes
4. Schedule Interviews
5. Conduct Initial Interviews
6. Check References and Hear Candidate
7. Narrow the Field to One Candidate
8. The 2nd Interview
9. Calling the Pastor
10. Completing the Process
 
 
To the praise of His glory,
 
Ray
Pr. 3:5-6
