To help direct the search, the pulpit committee recently approved a profile of Tenth as well as a Senior Minister Profile outlining the qualities we are seeking in our next Senior Minister.
Update June 23, 2025: The Pulpit Committee has had four meetings since it was elected about a month ago. To help direct our search, we recently approved a profile of Tenth as well as a senior minister profile outlining the qualities we are seeking in our next senior minister. We invite the congregation to review these profiles. Using these profiles, we have begun contacting men with whom we would like to speak about this position to inquire about their interest.
A major focus of our work will be rigorously evaluating whether a candidate is a godly man whose character is above reproach. To that end, if you are a member of Tenth who personally knows a man who is godly and above reproach, and you believe the Pulpit Committee should add him to our list of men to consider, please contact the Pulpit Committee. In your correspondence, please indicate how you know the man and have personally observed his character, as well as how we may confidentially contact him.
Confidentiality is critical in the search process for a senior minister. We are committed to regular and open communication with the congregation, but there may be times that you desire more updates than we are able to provide. We ask that you extend us grace and patience as we devote ourselves to this work on your behalf.
The committee has enjoyed genuine unity and teamwork thus far, but we know that Satan would love to disrupt our work and sow seeds of dissension. Please pray regularly for us, that the Holy Spirit would protect us and bless us with heavenly wisdom and continued unity. Please also pray for our families as they share in the burden of this important work.
We are humbled to be entrusted by you with this responsibility and look forward with eager longing to see whom the Lord is raising up to lead us forward.
Update May 27, 2025: The Pulpit Committee has begun its work! At the committee’s first meeting, Ruling Elder Mike Miller was elected as chair. Each committee member was given the assignment to find two prayer partners to lift them up in prayer for the duration of the search process. The committee has also begun actively developing a formal process to seek candidates and receive applications. Please continue to pray for the committee and its work.
