It has been over a month since the last update on this site. That does not mean that there has not been activity in the search process. God has been working.

Recently, we were blessed to have our potential candidate and his wife visit our ministry.

A key objective of the weekend visit was to allow the potential candidate a chance to see the ministry first hand and get to know our leadership face to face. He let us know how much they enjoyed the visit andthat they are enthusiastically interested in continuing the process with us.

The visit was another step in the process that began 6 months ago and continued this week as we had additional conversations with him via video conference on issues related to doctrine, our constitution, ministry philosophy, missions and Northside. In addition, we will be talking to men who know the pastor and his ministry.

Based on the Lord’s leading of both the elders and the potential candidate, the next step would be an official candidating trip. The trip would likely be 5-7 days and include a number of opportunities for individuals to get to know him and his wife better. It will also include additional opportunities for preaching and teaching and a congregational Q&A. As we move thru the next week, we will provide more details on the progress.

Pray for guidance. This is God’s church. He loves it more than we do. He wants what is best for it more than we do. Praise the Lord!

Your brother,
