Pastoral Search Plan

Dear TPC Family,

On behalf of the session, I want to say thank you to the many of you who took the time to send in your feedback on the recent survey we sent to all members! That info has already been so valuable to us and will continue to help the Pastoral Search Committee once it is formed!

We know many of you have questions about the details of how we will be selecting and calling a new lead pastor. We (the session) have created a step by step overview of what to expect as we go along, which you can find at truthpoint.org/pastorsearch. Things may change as we move along, so expect there to be an update or two, but this gives you a general sense of the way this search process will go.

It is important that you know that we and the search committee will be seeking the input and help of all of our members throughout the entire process. That means the search page is not just information, but activities in which we want you to be involved.

As you will see at truthpoint.org/pastorsearch, we are currently in Phase 2 (the preparation stage). Our biggest task in this phase is to establish a Search Committee, beginning by receiving nominations from our members. We have also asked a pastoral search firm, McGowan & Associates, to come alongside the church and the committee to help us find and evaluate candidates.

We have set up a Search Committee Nomination form. Please read through it carefully. If there are members of Truth Point Church you believe will be great members of the TPC Search Committee, send in a nomination form, (but be sure to ask them first!). 

If you have any questions, please let us know!

In Christ,

Pastor Tim Sansbury
on behalf of the TPC Elders

*We announced this Pastoral Search Update to the congregation on Sunday, July 19. Unfortunately, it got cut out of the live-stream service due to technical difficulties, but here is the audio recording of that announcement if you would like to hear it.*
