Pastoral Placement

WE VALUE THE RIGHT FIT FOR SERVING IN MINISTRY

We believe God has blessed us in EFCA Central with uncommonly gifted pastors and, because of that, we have had many long-tenured pastor/church relationships. However, eventually every church or pastor will need assistance with placement. There comes a time when we need to add staff, or replace a valued team member who has retired or moved on. There might also come a time when you yourself sense that God may be releasing you from your current ministry to seek a new calling.

We value an approach that considers pastoral giftedness in tandem with the skills and gifts required by an open position. Our goal is to match the two in a way which allows those gifts to be used to their fullest potential for both the pastor and church.

Whether you are looking to find a new team member for your church or you are considering a new ministry opportunity, we suggest two steps. First, review our Pastor Search website. Additionally, at some point during the process, you’ll want to contact Mark Farran. One of his main roles is to help pastors and churches think through the issues of finding a new ministry or seeking a new staff pastor.
