Pastoral Search Team Update #5

01Feb, 2017

We would like to begin by thanking everyone at SDBC for your prayers and encouragement. We were very encouraged by the comments, conversations, and commitments to pray at our special focus time on Sunday, January 22nd. We are planning to hold special prayer times following the morning service at least once a month. If you plan to pray with us next time, please join us quickly in the fellowship hall as we are committed to starting quickly and keeping it brief.

The pastoral search team had another productive meeting this week. We have completed the first draft of our lead pastor package. This document is currently 25 pages long, and it provides an excellent introduction to our church and community. The package starts with an introduction to the people of South Delta. Did you know that 42% of people living here identify themselves as having no religious affiliation? We also introduce some information on the cost of living here and provide a history of our church in the community. The document concludes with specific information about our church’s mission, vision, and statement of faith. 

This introduction package, combined with a position description, will soon be posted on our website and will be sent out to prospective candidates. The SDBC elders board will be meeting next week to review the package and final position description; then we should be ready for final touches and posting.

Thank you for praying with us. If you have not picked up a search team prayer bookmark, we encourage you to pick one up at the Connect Desk on Sunday.

Please remember to Prepare for change, Pray for our search team, and Plan to be part of the process.
