Finding the right pastor is critical in the life of a church. But most churches rely on inexperienced and sometimes blinded pulpit committees, which often gamble with the selection of their candidates because they don't have a clear understanding of biblical guidelines for choosing a pastor. So how does a church find the right man for its pulpit? This book is designed to assist pastoral search committees by discussing the issues that surround six fundamental questions: Can the man preach effectively? What else should he do as pastor? Is he qualified? Is he theologically sound? Does his practical theology match his written theology? And how can a church find this man? Search committee members, church leaders, pastors who desire to keep the right balance between preaching and other shepherding responsibilities, and all who want to learn more about the role of a pastor will be helped by the clarity Brian Biedebach brings to this subject.
