The Search Continues, and Interviews Begin
by Ron Crawford on 11/12/11
The Pastoral Search Committee has recently passed a major milestone as we have conducted several 'screening' interviews of prospective candidates. These interviews are held with the committee and the candidate, and most have been conducted via Skype, enabling an on-line, 'virtual' face-to-face meeting across the miles. These interviews are intended to help us narrow the field to a couple of prospectivee candidates who we intend to invite to Valley Church to preach and meet the congregation. Early interviews have been encouraging, as we have spoken with candidates that are very much in sync with Valley's mission, and appear to be good fits with our culture and values. We have more work to do, but these interviews give us real hope that we might have a prospective candidate in front of you soon.
You may not have noticed, but we have added a new section to our highlights page for team status. In the bottom left ofthis page, you will see a summary report on how many candidates have been considered, contacted, and screened. Come back often to get the most up-to-date status.
The Search Team continues to feel the strong moving of the spirit in guiding our efforts and maintaining our focus on the task. We ask for your continued prayers for this effort, so that we may remain energized, and that progress may continue.
