Abstract

This project/dissertation is a systematic process-oriented manual of practical guidelines and 'user-friendly' procedures to assist congregationally governed churches in the calling of pastors. The uniqueness of the manual is the spiritual dynamics and organizational mechanics which will educate and equip a pastoral search committee to perform their task with excellence. The process is based on the assumption that the local church is Christ's church and he desires it to grow. Therefore, the selection of pastoral leadership is the most important decision a local church makes if it intends to be a healthy, growing, and reproducing church, fulfilling Christ's Great Commandment and Great Commission. The procedures were developed to be adaptable and transferable to most evangelical churches so they can do their ministry wisely, intelligently and effectively. As they honor God in the process by working responsibly and diligently, experience demonstrates that most churches are vitalized in their ministry effectiveness and positive pastor-people relations are engendered.
