PASTOR SEARCH
Thank you for your interest in the Pastor Search process here at SunRise. We will keep the congregation informed of significant developments through regular communication via newsletters and on this page. Please know that we are committed to transparency and ensuring everyone’s valuable input is heard. If you have something you'd like to share with the team, please email us using the link below.
UPDATES:
We recently concluded our town hall meetings that covered characteristics and qualities that the congregation would like to see in our next pastor. The team is comparing those responses, along with the forms that were completed online, to develop the candidate profile, job description and church profile. Once this “hiring packet” is created we will begin distributing to our potential pastor pools and receiving applicants.
Tentative Timeline:
- April-May – Committee meetings to create candidate profile, job description, and church profile utilizing input from Town Hall Meetings.
- June-Aug – Exploring pastoral pools and soliciting potential candidates. Receiving and reviewing applications, potentially begin interviews.
- Sept-Oct – Continue interviews and narrowing candidates. Committee potentially visiting candidate home churches.
- Nov-Dec – Narrow to final candidate(s) for review and vote by SALT.
