    Senior Pastor Candidate Sermon Note Catcher
    Gather Evidence * Pray for Wisdom * Discern God's Choice

     

    Prayerfully consider each candidate based on the entirety of your experience—not solely the sermon you heard.

     

    Remember:

    A sermon provides a glimpse into a candidate's ability to preach God's Word.

    The role of a Senior Pastor also includes:

    • Shepherding God's people
    • Teaching and discipling believers
    • Providing pastoral care during life's joys and hardships
    • Leading with wisdom and integrity
    • Developing leaders and ministries
    • Working collaboratively with church leadership
    • Serving the surrounding community
    • Casting vision while honoring the church's heritage
       

    Please prayerfully evaluate each candidate as a potential shepherd for New Zion Baptist Church—not solely as a Sunday preacher.

    We are not simply choosing who preached the best sermon. We are prayerfully discerning whom God is calling to shepherd New Zion Baptist Church in the years ahead.
