A clearer beginning
Good intentions deserve a shared process.
A pastor search can become disorganized before the first application arrives. Scattered documents. Unspoken expectations. Committee members evaluating candidates by different standards.
The Pastor Search Launch Kit is designed to help you turn those loose pieces into one practical, repeatable process—without adding recruiting software.
Inside the proposed pilot
Seven tools. A more thoughtful search.
A connected set of worksheets, guides, and templates for the work your committee needs to do.
Pastoral Vacancy Posting Builder
Clarify the role, qualifications, responsibilities, application requirements, and timeline before publishing an opening.
Candidate Alignment Scorecard
Agree on essentials and evaluate evidence consistently. A framework for committee discussion—not an automated hiring decision.
Structured Interview Guide
Move beyond surface-level questions with early and deeper interview prompts, observations, and follow-up notes.
Reference Conversation Guide
Use a repeatable outline to discuss experience, character, leadership patterns, accountability, and unanswered questions.
Applicant Communication Templates
Adapt acknowledgments, invitations, timeline updates, respectful declines, and next-step messages.
Committee Launch Checklist
Assign roles, agree on criteria, approve public language, collect applications securely, and document decisions.

Built for your committee
Practical help.
Clear boundaries.
For a chair, elder, board member, or designated church leader organizing a lead-pastor search.
Designed for independent, non-denominational, and Restoration Movement churches under 500 that would consider purchasing at $79.
A toolkit, not a placement service.
This pilot does not promise candidates, an existing directory audience, placement, or a successful hire.
It does not replace prayer, discernment, safeguarding, credential checks, lawful employment practices, or qualified professional advice. Your church remains responsible for its decisions.
Before you reserve
A few fair questions.
Is this an active job board or directory?
No. This pilot tests a practical church-side package before broader directory infrastructure is built. We are not claiming an existing candidate audience or active listings marketplace.
Why $79 for guides and templates?
We are testing whether one coherent system saves enough committee time and confusion to be worth purchasing. The final invitation will show the complete scope before payment.
Does reserving commit us to a purchase?
No. A reservation expresses purchase interest. It is not acceptance into the pilot and does not obligate either party to proceed.
Will our church information be public?
This form is for pilot qualification and follow-up, not a public listing. A future listing would require a separate process and your explicit approval.
Will you find a pastor for us?
No. The kit helps organize your process. It does not source candidates, verify credentials, conduct background checks, or guarantee an outcome.
