When a member of the search coordinating team reaches out to ask you for nominations, consideration of the following qualities will help guide your thinking: Qualities of Search Team Members
Roles and Responsibilities of Search Team Members
The seven-member Ministerial Search Team leads a months-long discernment process that, while demanding, is deeply meaningful. The search team decides who will hold certain roles and have oversight over certain tasks, such as chairing the committee, leading the communications effort, overseeing the small group/focus group discussions, ensuring that the church’s search website pages contain current and relevant information, compiling the congregational record, etc. Before considering being part of the search team, it’s important to understand the
responsibilities of the group and the time commitment that is required. That information can be found here.
