And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
- Galatians 6:9-10 (ESV)
Meadowview Family,
Greetings from the Pastoral Search Committee! It has been a month since our last update, and we are excited to share with you the progress we have made in the last few weeks.
While this will be a shorter update than our last communication, please do not attribute this to a lack of progress. The committee has been meeting diligently each week with members working independently as well. Our work has truly been a collaborative effort, and we are blessed with a variety of gifts and personalities. It is a joy to see the Lord at work amongst us.
In our last update, we shared that we were in the process of reviewing applications that have been submitted since our first job posting in June. We have continued in this process of seeking a man who we believe is best suited to the needs of our congregation. Our month has been full of reading resumes, philosophies of ministry, and theological statements as well as listening to many, many sermons.
We are happy to say that we have moved beyond the initial review process and have move to Phase II of our process (see our adopted Committee Bylaws) where we dig deeper into the ministry philosophy and experience of the applicants as well as conduct remote interviews of our selected prospects.
Currently, we are in the middle of this process of scheduling and conducting interviews. Please continue to pray for us as we evaluate these men. We ask, not only for wisdom and discernment, but peace concerning the difficult decisions we will be facing. The weight and importance of these things is not lost on the committee.
We covet your continued prayers, support, and trust. May God use us all for the advancement of His Kingdom in Lexington!
Soli Deo Gloria,
The Pastoral Search Committee
