YOUR PASTORAL SEARCH TEAM (PST) HAS MET!!
Work has begun…the team participated in a Skype call with Rev.
Elder Lillie Brock on Tues. evening, April 26, 2011.
We are not going to kid you, there is a great deal of work to be
completed before we elect a Pastor. We are going to share as
much information with you during this process as we are
allowed – there will be much confidential information that the
Team cannot share – not even with the Board. Let’s keep in
mind that a pastor may be presently serving a church – it is of
the utmost importance that we protect his/her privacy.
Candidate’s names will be known only to the PST.
We will keep you updated as often as possible BUT there
will be times when we have no information to report.
WE ASK FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND PATIENCE
DURING THIS PROCESS.
The Team is presently working on a survey where the church
members and friends will be the participants. The purpose of
this survey is to formulate a pastor profile and define Gentle
Shepherd’s future goals.
As the Team understands it, the survey results will be sent to
the Board of Elders (BOE), where they will select candidates
who might fit the criteria of the survey. At this time, the PST
evaluates candidates and goes forth from there.
The congregation will be introduced to one candidate only.
An election will be held where we either vote in the pastor or
we don’t; whereby, the Team begins the process again.
This preceding information is NOT Gentle Shepherd’s
guidelines – it is UFMCC’s guidelines!
In the very near future, there is to be a Pastoral Search page
on the GSMCC’s website. On this page will be information
that the congregation will find useful. In addition, if you have
any concerns or questions at present, you may email the
