The Pastoral Search Committee has been formed and the committee is holding regular meetings to work through the process that will ultimately lead to the calling of our next senior pastor.
The immediate action steps that the search committee will take include:
§ Gathering input from the congregation concerning the church and pastor profile. Each member of the congregation will have an opportunity to tell the search committee the qualities it should seek in the new senior pastor through a survey and series of town hall meetings. Watch for how you can be a part of this effort in the near future.
§ Assembling the church profile. This includes the wonderful brochure that was developed by the Board of Stewards, but more than that will be how Central is portrayed to prospective applicants. This document is important so that candidates can understand the heart of Central Baptist Church.
The search committee intends to communicate with the congregation on a monthly basis. Additional information will be provided more frequently as there becomes more information to communicate. Please watch The Connection, the Sunday bulletin, and Life in the Church (announcements) for more information.
Prayer for this process is vital. The search committee started their journey with an amazing two-week prayer initiative to seek God on a number of levels. Your personal and corporate prayer is needed and is much appreciated. The search committee will do its best to communicate general and specific requests for which you can pray.
Please keep the process and the following search committee members in your thoughts and prayers as often as they come to mind. Please also feel free to contact the search committee chair, Kirby Stoll, with any questions or comments at any point along the way. Kirby can be reached by email at krstoll@nwc.edu.
