Transitions can be scary, emotional, and hard on a congregation and its leaders. But they can also be filled with celebrations and opportunities. Celebrations of God’s goodness and provision in the past, as well as opportunities to grasp a fresh vision for the future. It is our desire to walk alongside churches and assist them in reaching their full potential. One of the ways we do this is by providing assistance during pastoral transitions. This could come through coaching a pastor and his leadership team through a succession plan as well as executing a comprehensive search for the next pastor to lead your church.
Finding, identifying and recruiting gifted leaders is hard work. Lyle Schaller suggests that only 10% to 15% of all pastors have the gifts, skills and temperament to start a new church or grow an existing church. Identifying these leaders is a huge task for the local church. Installing the wrong leader could have a dramatic impact on the church’s health, future and missional impact.
We desire to see all churches, across the American Heartland, filled with Great Commission oriented leaders who are committed to seeing more and stronger Christ followers produced through the ministry of the local church. In light of this passion and commitment to the local church, we make a significant investment into local churches by facilitating comprehensive pastoral searches. Give us a call to learn more about how we can service your church.
