Charting the Course - The Pastoral Search Process (Book)
This is the most comprehensive volume available on the pastoral search process written for pastors and associates. This will coach you on what they don’t teach you in seminary. Its combination of theological perspective and practical thinking covers areas such as: developing a search theology, crafting a candidate profile that communicates who you are and that will stand out from the crowd, the interview process, how to approach compensation unapologetically, and the transition process. If you are a member of a search committee, after reading this volume you will know what to look for in a candidate and you will have strategies to employ when thinking about your church.
This workbook interactively coaches search committees through the search process for pastors and ministry associates. The workbook challenges search committees to think Biblically, to engage in self-critique, and to engage candidates in a thorough process designed to lead the search committee to the best selection of a pastor or ministry associate. Extensive interactive checklists are used throughout the workbook, including for use in critiquing candidate profiles (70 evaluation items), interviews, compensation packages, and a checklist of over 60 questions to use when critiquing your own church.It is designed to be used both as a companion to the book, Charting the Course – The Pastoral Search Process, and as a stand-alone resource.

This is one of the finest books written to church board members and search committees. If you are in the midst of a pastoral transition in which your pastor has been with you for years, you ought to read this book before you make another decision about the transition process.
Understanding church culture is essential to leadership, and absolutely critical when in the midst of transition, whether it is from the church’s perspective or the candidate’s. Dr. Galindo brings both a systemic and relational approach to church dynamics. I believe that the failure to explore and appreciate church culture is a major reason pastor – church relationships fail within the first few years. Whether you are a member of a search committee, or a candidate, Israel Galindo will help you think beyond the surface, into The Hidden Lives of Congregations.
Arthur Miller draws upon thousands of individual case studies to argue that you have inherent motivators and patterns of behavior, and that these motivators and patterns are “hard-wired” into you. If you are in a ministry or job transition, the more you understand how God wired you, the more likely you’ll be to make good vocational decisions. Please note, that while much of this book addresses Miller’s academic and professional peers, that it is well worth the effort on the part of the general reader.
This classic work on leadership explores a leader’s life trajectory. It challenges us to think about where we have come from, where we are, and where we are going. It soberly points out that a significant percentage of leaders do not finish well – this is not cotton candy, it is for men and women who are serious about a life of leadership.
