Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most churches have sought out a new pastor many times, yet search committees often feel as though they are inventing the process from scratch. In The Pastoral Search Journey, John Vonhof provides detailed guidance for search committees to ensure a good match between pastor and congregation. This is Vonhof's third book about the pastoral search -- but the first to discuss interim pastors, transitions between pastors, and the use of the Internet and digital media. Vonhof advises congregational leaders on establishing the search committee; ensuring the congregation is cared for during the pastoral vacancy; conducting the congregational self-study and creating an information packet; finding, communicating with, and interviewing candidates; determining selection criteria as well as evaluating and recommending candidates; managing call negotiations; and finally welcoming the congregation s new pastor. Sample letters, forms, and other tools are provided.
Download or read book A Letter to a Friend Reflections on Peace and Anger written by Robert L Withers and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it is road rage, rage from politicians, rage and intimidation within the corporate world, anger within families, anger in schools, vitriol and anger between retail clerk and customer, and sadly anger within churches - we are a society engulfed in anger. Peace has been taken from the earth and our hearts have grown callous. We are poisoned by anger and we are only too glad to share the poison. But there is hope, for there is another Way; it is the way of Jesus, it is the way of His peace. This is not just counter cultural, this is God-cultural - it is the culture of God. A LETTER TO A FRIEND - REFLECTIONS ON PEACE AND ANGER guides the reader away from the way of anger and into the Way of Peace, equipping the reader with thinking and strategies to combat the anger within us and the anger without us - so that instead of contributing to the culture of anger, we can learn to be agents of peace.
Download or read book Search written by William Vanderbloemen and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016-06-15 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finding your church’s pastor is as serious as an organ transplant. You need a pastor that matches your church’s vision, culture, and most importantly, your church’s heart. While there is no simple, one-size-fits-all solution to the puzzle of planning for a seamless pastor search, this handbook was created to provide pastor search committees, church leaders, and pastors a guide to asking the right questions in order to plan for the overwhelming pastor search process. William Vanderbloemen has spent years focusing on connecting churches with pastors who fit their ministry context. Search: The Pastoral Search Committee Handbook guides church members through the process finding the right leader for their church. When a pastor leaves a church, ministries are disrupted and members drift away. If the church is already struggling, it can find itself suddenly in very dire straits. But it doesn't have to be that way. What if when a pastor moved on, the church knew exactly what to do to form a search committee and begin the search process for the person God is calling to lead their church?

Download or read book The Pastor Search Process written by John David Lones and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is commonly acknowledged by both clergy and laity that a problem exists in the Southern Baptist Convention concerning both the length of pastoral tenure and the number of forced terminations of ministerial staff. Solutions have been proposed but little measurable change has been forthcoming. Much has been written about conflict resolution, communication between staff and lay leadership and realistic expectations. However well-intended these efforts may be, the statistics seem to indicate little or nothing has changed. This project intends to evaluate the pastor-search process from the perspective of the pastoral candidate. Churches make efforts to evaluate and investigate candidates for ministerial staff positions, but the candidate is forced to rely on personal relationships, Associational Directors of Missions--one of whose major concerns is filling the pulpits of associational churches--state convention personnel and data to investigate a prospective church. In this study, pastors engage in self-evaluation from a variety of perspectives and tools in the form of a manual are supplied to enable a pastoral candidate to objectively determine whether a particular church will mesh with his unique personality, gifts and leadership style with the result of achieving a better match between pastor and church at the outset and, ultimately, longer tenure and fewer terminations.
