Call meeting June 14th

Our first call meeting to call a new resident pastor will take place on June 14th after the service.

Call meetings are the tools that Peace uses to ask a man to serve as our pastor. To help you understand the process, these meetings are something like voting for a political candidate (please don't jump to assumptions). As with voting for a political candidate, all the voting members of Peace take part in this process.

  • You'll come into the meeting.
  • You will be presented with about three candidates. You'll receive basic information about them (names, locations, families, education).
  • You'll be able to discuss them for a little while.
  • You'll vote to call one of them as our next pastor.

Unlike hiring a political candidate, this process will be filled with prayer, the Word of God, and mutual encouragement. We are following the Scriptural example of Acts 2:13-26. In that section, we see that the disciples need a new man to serve in the place of Judas.

  • They gather together (verse 15).
  • They review a list of acceptable candidates.
  • They cast votes for one of the candidates. 

All members are welcome to attend and learn about the process, to hear the encouragement, and to support each other. Voting members will vote. 

We expect the meeting to take place in less than an hour. The first time might be a little longer as we explain the process. 

After the call meeting, the council will inform the man that we have called him to serve as our pastor. 

He will acknowledge the call in a letter back to the congregation. 

Then the congregation and the man will talk with each other and determine if God is asking him to serve at Peace at this time. 

May God be at work among the people of Peace and our gospel ministry as we listen to him and follow him! 

Peace be with you!
