We are excited to be coming to the close of Stage 3 in the
Pastor Search Process! We have spent the
last two months creating three documents which are central to our pastor
search.
- The Community Profile describes East Nashville.
- The Church Profile describes City Church: our core values and our history.
- The Desired Pastor Profile details the qualities we are looking for in a new lead pastor.
These documents have been written with great care and much
discussion, incorporating input from the congregation, the session, and the
staff. This week we are having the documents
formatted and plan to post them publicly on the City Church website by May 5.
Publishing these documents will bring us into Stage 4 of
this process—“Post the Position.” We
will begin collecting applications and reviewing them. The Desired Pastor Profile includes
information on how to apply for the position.
We encourage members of the congregation to recommend
applicants to us. If you have someone in
mind for the position, please contact
that person first and find out if they desire to apply. If so, direct them to the City Church website
(citychurcheast.org) where they can find the Profile documents and application
information by following the “Pastor Search” link.
Thank you to all the families who have provided meals for
our evening meetings. It is a great gift
to have a meal waiting for us when we arrive at the meeting (often coming
directly from work). We feel very loved
and supported by you!
Please continue in prayer for the person God is preparing to
become the lead pastor at City Church!
