A Plain Answer: Trusting God During a Pastoral Search - Pastor Al Baker

Have you experienced going through a pastoral search for your church? If so, you know it can be a long process. Each church has its own process, but basic to the search is finding the right match in terms of the future pastor's character, what he believes, his preaching, interest in pastoring the people, etc. The list is long and certainly varies with the congregation. Typically there is a pastoral search committee or pulpit committee that is setup. This group of people are trusted with all information that comes in from the applicants. They are able to keep confidences. It is essential that they do a good job of vetting the candidate. Today we talk with a seasoned pastor about this important subject. He gives us some insights and encouragement. Participants: Rev. Dr. Al Baker, Dan Elmendorf
