When faced with the task of hiring a minister, many local church leaders may feel alone because they've never done it before.

We want to help. So we've assembled a group of writers with a great deal of experience in finding, interviewing, and placing staff members in local churches. Some of them serve on ministerial staffs, while others help find ministers to start new church plants. All of them bring experience and expertise lacking among many local elderships and search committees charged with this task. Our articles include:

• "How to Get Started," by Thomas F. Jones Jr.
• "Checking References," by Brent Storms
• "Face-to-Face Interviews," by Rob Kastens
• "The Behaviorally Based Interview," by David Limiero
• "Extending the Call," by Don Anderson
• "Hiring Resources," by R. Paige Mathews

This 12-page resource is a great source of encouragement, advice, and do's and don'ts for the individuals entrusted with overseeing the hiring process.
