PSC Prayer Guide
For 11 weeks, February 2nd through Easter Sunday, we are asking the entire church to spend time each week in prayer and seeking the Lord on behalf of our Pastor Search Committee.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our church bylaws clearly outline the process. To put it simply, church members vote to form a 9-person Pulpit Committee that represents the congregation. This group will perform the task of finding and presenting a candidate for the Senior Pastor position. Then the church will vote on the candidate. You can read the details of this process here.
This is perhaps the most common question our staff receives. The main answer is of course to pray. Let’s all be seeking the Lord, and asking for his guidance and wisdom as we search for the next leader of Champion Forest. The other thing you can do is to continue serving and ministering. The head of our church is Jesus Christ, and our mission remains.
The last time our church went through this process, it took almost 2 years. It’s important to let the search committee do an exhaustive search. That said, we believe the search will take anywhere from 12-18 months. We will allow the committee to follow the Lord’s lead and leave the results up to Him.
Jesus Christ alone is the head of the Church (Colossians 1:18), and Champion Forest Baptist Church is blessed to have servant-hearted, faithful leadership at staff, deacon, and volunteer levels.
Our Executive Team oversees the week-to-week ministry of the church. Each campus has a campus pastor in English and Spanish, and we push forward with confidence in our God-given mission.
