Frequently asked questions
-
What is the process for finding a new pastor or church leader?
Our process starts with understanding your church’s mission, culture, and the leadership qualities you’re looking for. We then create a customized search profile and begin identifying candidates who align with your values and vision. We guide you through interviews and offer expert advice to ensure you select the right leader for your congregation.
-
How do you ensure candidates align with our church’s values and vision?
We take the time to immerse ourselves in your church’s mission, culture, and community. This enables us to vet candidates who not only have the necessary skills but are also passionate about your faith, values, and vision for the future.
-
