The PC(USA) search system is designed for pastors to match up with congregations who are looking for ministers. The denomination has a very effective search system, but with fewer churches available, simple logic suggests that finding a new church is potentially difficult. The catalyst for this research was the author's spiritual and emotional struggles that were prominent during the search process. In an effort to care for pastors and their families in the midst of this wilderness like journey, nine pastors were interviewed in order to paint a proper picture of the PC(USA) search experience. The results are compelling.
