1. Consider the definition of the church


Dr. Matt Sanders makes some key points to consider in "Don't lose your theology when looking for a pastor":

  • The church is a living, dynamic organism.
  • Each member, including the pastor, is a unique member.
  • Every time a pastor leaves or comes, the church changes.
  • Because the church changes when a pastor leaves and the pastor is unique, the church cannot simply look for someone just like the previous pastor. An identical pastor does not exist.
