UPDATES

July 30th, 2018

First, we will be posting the job on some smaller networking sites, EFCA and 9Marks. Also, we will be counting on our congregation to encourage those you may know who would be interested, or have the talents for the job to apply. We will be asking the Pastors at our church to use their connections to reach out and spread the word about the roll needing to be filled and ask for recommendations.

By starting off with a smaller, more focused network, our hope is to get a pastor on site sooner. Having a somewhat prescreened group through the vetted organizations, pastors, and our congregation our hope is this will result in a higher concentration of quality candidates. We will move to more broad church staffing websites if the candidate that God has in mind is not found from these outlets.

Second, we are creating a pamphlet that will be available on line and at the church Information Desk soon. We will be establishing a website link of on our Faith Church website. Our email is up and running, and ready for candidates to send in their applications. The email address is apsearch@faithchurch.net.

PRAYER REQUESTS

Please pray for our Search Committee as we meet together — pray for God to bind us as a group and to hear from him as to who He has in store for Faith Church. Most of all pray for the candidate that God has already selected, that God is preparing his family, and our church family to welcome him with open arms.
