No matter how much you love your pastor, the time may come when God leads him elsewhere, and your church will be looking for another man to fill that role.

Are you prepared in the event this happens in your church?

Calling a Pastor explains how to bring order and discipline to the pastoral search process. It is a step-by-step plan to assist pulpit committees with the enormous responsibility of finding a new pastor. The author shares the principles used in his church when their pastor resigned. This useful book gives a glimpse of lessons learned from one church’s experience.
