Pastor Search

Pastor Search status report

FEBRUARY 2012

Your Pastor Search Committee continues to meet weekly towards our common goal of finding God’s man to be our Senior Pastor.

We have spent quite a bit of time analyzing the current state of Calvary Baptist Church and understanding the strengths and challenges that we face. In light of all the information that we have deliberated over, we are now moving forward to develop a profile of a Pastor/Shepherd who can lead our congregation beyond the current state and into the future.

We are excited about the man that God has already chosen, a man after God’s own heart, who is wholly surrendered and reconciled to God. An over-arching truth that the Pastoral Search Committee has learned since November of 2011 is that the greatest days of Calvary lie ahead. We are confident that God is in control and will guide our steps in the days to come.
