Getting a New Pastor
As I sit here, I know of four churches in our fellowship that are searching for a pastor. Ours is one of the four. Searching for a pastor is one of the most difficult things a church is called to do. Determining the will of God demands prayer, good counsel and spiritual discernment. There is some danger in the process.
As our Elders embark on the process of finding our next pastor, they need our prayers and support. Count on me to join you in prayer for God's clear direction While we're at it, let's pray for the other three churches as well.
- Resumes all look good.
- Potential candidates polish up their best sermons.
- Pulpit committees put together their best list of qualifications, requirements and job descriptions.
- Every member of the congregation has their own expectations.
- Several candidates may claim that God has spoken to them his direction to be pastor of that particular church

Great resumes, degrees, accomplishments, and the appearance of being qualified and competent should only be a place for us to start in considering a new pastor. Investigation of character and the evidence of the fruits of the spirit by the testimony of believers should be a high priority as we pray and search for a man of God. Love, humility, bible literacy, the obedience in the making of disciples, and a deep conviction to reach the unsaved should be at the top of our list of attributes.
