Pastoral Search
ABCNJ staff are committed to walking with congregations during pastoral transitions, utilizing tools and strategies developed from working with other congregations. With these steps, the region wants to take a time often filled with a variety of emotions, and help churches discern God’s next steps for the ministry of the congregation.
We invite the church leadership to reach out to the Region office as soon as the pastor has begun conversations about departing the current congregation.
Beginning the Process
