Resolution #21 — National Placement Service To Serve Church Leadership
Churches struggle with a pastoral selection process that can match their unique needs and culture with that of a qualified minister. Small churches are finding it increasingly difficult to locate qualified ministerial candidates. Senior pastors often find it difficult to find qualified staff to fill ministry positions. In order to serve local churches in the ministerial selection process, a national placement service is proposed.
RESOLVED, That a national placement service (paid for by the users) be established that would do the following: assist ministerial candidates in locating ministry opportunities; train church leadership in a selection process; and help assess the culture of a particular church so the church can identify potential candidates that match their unique needs, values, and ministry focus.
