Process in Searching & Selecting
The constitution in place at Deerbrook explains the process in which any Pastoral Search Team is supposed to operate. When profiles of potential Associate Pastor(s) come in, the team will review the profiles and through prayer, interviews, discernment the team will narrow the selection down and present ONE candidate to the congregation. If that individual isn’t the person Deerbrook wants; at that time the process will begin all over again and another individual will be selected to come before the congregation. There will only be ONE candidate to view and vote on.

If this process is imbedded in the constitution, maybe it is time to consider a change in favor of a better practice.
