A 42-page pastor search guide for small and rural church committees. This single printable PDF follows the process from the first weeks after a pastor’s departure through onboarding and the new pastor’s first year.
Inside the toolkit
- Forming the search committee and assessing the church
- Writing a church profile and finding candidates
- Screening resumes, assessing theological fit, and interviewing
- Reference and background checks and the candidating weekend
- Extending the call, discussing compensation, and onboarding
- Master timeline checklist and sample communications
Use the sections in sequence with your committee, or return to the checklists as decisions come up. The PDF provides practical prompts and templates; it does not replace your church’s governing documents, denominational guidance, or professional legal and financial advice.
Format: One 42-page printable PDF. Digital access is provided after purchase. No subscription.
