Finding the right pastor is the most important decision a small church makes. Most search committees have never done this before and have no idea where to start.
This 42-page toolkit walks your committee through every phase of the search:
- How to form a search committee that represents your congregation well
- Writing a church profile that attracts the right candidates
- Where to post your position and how to reach bi-vocational candidates
- Screening resumes and narrowing the field
- Interview questions that reveal character, not just competence
- Reference check process and what to actually ask
- Candidate visit planning and congregational involvement
- Compensation negotiation for small church budgets
- The call process and congregational vote
- Onboarding your new pastor for a strong first 90 days
Includes templates for: church profile, candidate evaluation rubric, interview question bank, reference check guide, and offer letter. Research-cited and field-tested by small church search committees across multiple denominations.
