Our Search and Call Process

“Bathe the Process in Prayer”

 

In the Search and Call Process, pastors, congregations, and Regional Ministers,  share the same goal: to help congregations and pastors find each other so that God’s ministry through the church of Jesus Christ may be healthy, creative, faith-full and hope-filled. 

 

Throughout the search you are encouraged to:

 

·     Bathe the process in prayer.

 

·     Trust that God is in the process and is at work,         both in pastoral ministry and in the ministries         of the congregations who will review the clergy       profiles.

 

·     Seek God’s guidance,

 

·     Rely on Christ’s strength and

 

·     Trust the Spirit’s leading.

 

God has a mission in need of a church, and God’s church has a ministry in need of pastoral leadership. Know also that others will be praying with you as even these words are bathed in prayer, may they be helpful to God’s chosen servants and communities.
