Search Committees

Are you a church seeking a pastor? We have some resources that can help. The AEMs has been entrusted with the responsibility of being a resource person to Pulpit/Search Committees, and normally it is through the Associate Executive Ministers that a resume reaches a Pulpit/Search Committee. However, a Pulpit/Search Committee has the right to approach a pastor personally to request that you provide a resume. If this should happen it would be helpful for the pastor to make to the Associate Executive Ministers aware of the request.

First point of contact – Greg Jones – Phone (506-635-1922 ext. 1004) or email – greg.jones@baptist-atlantic.ca.

Pastoral Placement Resources

We recommend each candidate use a Uniform Resume Format (see below):

  • To help Pulpit/Search Committees to process the resume information efficiently;
  • To give Pulpit/Search Committees uniform resume categories to review;
  • To assist the Associate Executive Ministers in presenting resume information;
  • To help ensure that confidentiality is retained once a resume has been released.

Preparation for Interviews
You are encouraged to save the following items for discussion at the interview with a Pulpit/Search Committee:

  • Reasons for being open to a new call;
  • Specific experiences in the present and/or past ministry situations;
  • Personal interests, “hobby horses,” and biases.
