Pastorless Church Assistance
The challenge of finding a new pastor who “fits” your congregation and is the person God wants at your church is a critical mission, to be taken very seriously.
Texas Baptists has a number of resources that can assist your church during this interim time. One of the most important is calling an experienced, called, and trained interim pastors. Here’s a pin map to give you an idea of where our interim pastors are located. Pin Map–Contact this office for availability.
Initial Interim Consultation
Contact Texas Baptist church specialists to discuss issues and resources you need to be aware of during your church’s interim period.
Pastor Search Committee Training Session
Two-hour and six-hour formats are available for specific training sessions for your Search Committee roles, responsibilities and process. Contact the Interim Church Services team to discuss.
Traditional Interim Pastor Referral
If you are looking for the names of supply preachers and trained traditional interim pastors in your area, contact Interim Church Services.
Intentional Interim Ministry Consultation and Presentation
Prior to forming a Search Committee, a church can choose to dedicate the time to a relatively new interim process, Intentional Interim Ministry. During the intentional interim process, your church can take the time to further discover who they are, to decide what issues need to be dealt with before the new pastor is selected, and to clarify the type of pastor God is leading your church to call in the future. Then the church is prepared to receive the new pastor with focus on the future and not the past.
