Has your congregation been devastated with the recent resignation or departure of your Senior Pastor? Are you on the pulpit search committee, having feelings of inadequacy or even fear, having never done this before? Are you a church secretary seeking help for the leadership while hoping and praying that they carefully and prayerfully evaluate the huge responsibility placed before them? Are there problem people in the church trying to rush their favorite person or relative into the pulpit as the new pastor? Are younger, business-minded, search committee members trying to run the search like they would a corporate buy-out or take-over?
First, take a
deep breath and relax! These feelings and reactions are very common in churches
today and can be easily remedied with a Biblical and practical approach
Sweeney Ministries brings. This time without a pastor, or this “PARENTHESIS
PRINCIPLE” as Bob calls it, is a time few ever prepare for. Church
leaders have little or no training as to how to proceed with an effective
and Biblically based search for God’s man.This is where Sweeney Ministries can help. Bob meets with the search committee for an entire day, first by challenging them spiritually and then leading them through a brief time of worship. When hearts are right and minds are open, Bob then proceeds through an afternoon of workbook based, fill-in-the-blank, purpose-driven teaching explaining how to do the search from formulating the search committee all the way through candidating, hiring and even moving the pastor into town. He even walks you through the installation service and dissolving of the search committee. Every question is addressed and every fear subsides using this clear cut easy to follow format. Bob personally welcomes anyone needing to talk, and is willing to counsel on Saturday evening, leaving Sunday as a time of unity. From sharing an overview of the concept with the entire Sunday School, to preaching the message, the entire morning is one of worship, challenge and encouragement! Hurts are mended, hearts are blessed and God is glorified. Bob’s desire is to bless the church and let them see how God has prepared them for SUCH A TIME AS THIS! Contact Bob today and see how God can use him to help transform your church. |
