Greetings Tabernacle Baptist Church family! The Associate Pastor Search Team is happy to announce that we have found a candidate to present to the church. As you will read below, we had a thorough and exhaustive search. We are very excited and hopeful for how our candidate can serve TBC and the abilities she will bring to the role. We have enjoyed getting to know her and look forward to introducing her to you all.
The search has been a significant effort by all of the team members. We began meeting in late May and met once a week through early September. The job description was widely publicized, and received 37 resumes. After reviewing and grading the resumes, the team developed a questionnaire for selected candidates. From the 18 questionnaires returned to the team, we identified 7 candidates to interview. Following the interview process, the team unanimously presented a candidate to the Deacon Board, September 17th .
Information about the candidate will be presented to the church October 15th.
The candidate will be visiting Tabernacle November 9-12. There will be three Question and Answer sessions for members to meet the candidate and learn more about her. Please make plans to attend one of the sessions.
Question and Answer Sessions
Friday, November 10, 7pm Coffee and Dessert in the Fellowship Hall
Saturday, November 11, 11:30am-1:30pm Picnic Lunch at Dunncroft/Castle Point Park
Sunday, November 12, 9am Breakfast in the Fellowship Hall
The congregation will vote to call the candidate to ministry at TBC November 19.
Thank you for your prayers, encouragement and wisdom for the team during the search process.
