Selection Services
Choosing The Right Candidate
Making the right choice in a church has many dimensions, more than any other organization in existence.
As a church considers theology, leadership needs, polity, governance structures, community uniqueness, history, challenges, opportunities and many other factors, choosing the "right" pastor can end up with a dizzying array of factors. This is where we can help.
In circumstances where your church already has access to high-quality candidates, our Ministry by Design consultants can bring the process and the clarity you need in your self-directed search.
Using our Critical Ministry Requirement Process, congregational survey and a Vital Signs® Report, and by engaging with our SIMA® Process, we can partner with you to bring in-depth insight to bear in your critical selection to help assure the right call.
Our goals in selection services are to:
- Help your church define its culture and needs through a "Vital Signs" congregational survey process and in-depth "Critical Ministry Requirements" interview process of key church leaders.
- Craft customized documents to help define your next leader's giftedness, design, background and other key data points.
- Usher your final candidates through the comprehensive SIMA® Process and offer in-depth consulting in the final stages of your selection to assure fit.
Our team can help bring robust information and expertise to enhance your selection process to take things to the next level in a way that will deliver the results you need.
