What information will we receive?
I have compiled a packet specifically for churches in the search process that will help guide a church and their search committee. This packet should save your committee and eldership 10-15 hours of meeting time. This 40 page guide includes the following:
- Who should be on the Search Committee?
- Interview Processes
- Possible questions and case studies to ask interviewees
- Current salary levels in youth ministry
- Pursuing recent graduates vs. experienced ministers
- Sample job descriptions
- How to get the word out about your position?
- Who is the informal network?
- During an interview: Questions a church will need to be ready to answer
