Pastoral Search

Our search process began with the formation of a dedicated search team. This team, composed of church members and leaders, was selected for their spiritual maturity, diverse perspectives, and commitment to the church's mission. The team is responsible for guiding the search process, reviewing candidates, and making recommendations to the church board.

Central to our search is a deep commitment to prayer and discernment. We believe that seeking God's guidance is paramount in finding the right leader. The search team and congregation are encouraged to pray regularly for wisdom, clarity, and unity throughout this process.

A comprehensive pastoral profile is being developed to outline the qualities, qualifications, and responsibilities of the new lead pastor. This profile reflects the needs and aspirations of our church community and serves as a guide in evaluating potential candidates.

The search team will conduct an initial screening of candidates to identify those who best meet the criteria outlined in the pastoral profile. Selected candidates will be invited for interviews, where they will have the opportunity to share their vision for Northside Assembly and answer questions from the committee.

After a period of prayerful consideration and feedback from the congregation, the search committee will make a final recommendation to the church board. The board will then make the official decision and extend an offer to the selected candidate, pending a vote from the church membership.

We will be actively receiving applications from potential candidates. Interested individuals are encouraged to submit their resumes, along with a cover letter and any relevant supporting documents, via the link below. The search committee will review all applications thoroughly.

We value the input of our congregation in this important decision. Once the search committee has narrowed down the candidates, the church will have opportunities to meet and engage with the finalists. This may include sermons, Q&A sessions, and informal gatherings.

Upon acceptance of the offer, we will prepare to welcome our new lead pastor to Northside Assembly. This will include a formal installation service and a series of events to help our new pastor and their family integrate into the church and community.
