This book is designed to give an overview of the pastoral search process. Details of a step by step process explain possible ways to accomplish your purpose. Because your church has unique needs, adapt the process when necessary.
After each committee member has read the manual, the committee should then prayerfully discuss and agree on the process to be used in their search. All members should be comfortable with the process, and each held accountable for successful completion of individual tasks.
The step-by-step guidelines described in this book will help the committee operate efficiently and effectively. Each committee member may want a personal copy of the manual to use for reference throughout the process.
This book is written especially for churches with a congregational form of government. However, the guidelines are appropriate for any committee assigned the task of calling a pastor. Multi-staff churches will find the information helpful in hiring other professional staff members.
