Thank you for your prayers. Our process is moving along smoothly. This week, our pastoral search team met with the elder’s board to submit our short list of three applicants to consider for the position of SDBC's lead pastor. They are qualified and gifted men of God, with proven records of servant leadership, shepherd’s hearts, and integrity.
The elder's board is now scheduling interviews with each of the three applicants with the hope of identifying a pastoral candidate in August. There are still several steps before we present a candidate to the congregation for a vote. Some of those steps include: interviews, background checks, a visit by the candidate to Delta, a visit by our team to the candidate’s church, lots of prayer, and then an official visit of the candidate and his family to be introduced to SDBC, to preach, and to connect with as many people as possible before a motion is presented to call the next lead pastor.
Please continue to bathe this process in prayer. God is with us and we have experienced His leadership in our meetings and as we seek the man of His choosing for SDBC. Would you also be in prayer for the three men who are patiently journeying with us and seeking the Lord’s direction for their lives? We know that God has great plans for each one of them and we pray that their interactions with SDBC will be a blessing and an encouragement, regardless of our final decisions.
