Is Your Church Looking for a New Pastor?
Then we can help you!

Please make your Pastor Search Committee's first call to:

They are anxious to provide your church with the resources you need as you approach the critical choice of the person to lead your church as pastor.

Also, here on the TBC Web site, you will find links to information that is essential to helping your committee and church navigate the process of finding and calling a new pastor.

First, Texas Baptists Committed is now making available online, in printable PDF format, articles that have been contained in the Help for Pastor Search Committees packet that we have provided to pastorless churches for many years. Though some of these were written many years, ago, much of the information provided in them is relevant in 2015. Your church and pastor search committee will find these articles to be helpful and informative.

  • Initial Assistance
    • Initial consultation
    • Referrals to supply preachers and trained traditional interim pastors
    Intentional Interim Ministry Training for Pastor Search CommitteesFinding Candidates
    • Leader Connect résumé-matching service
  • Job Descriptions (English/Español) for a variety of ministry staff positions
