Some of you would probably have a pastor in 24 hours!
I wonder what kind of pastor you would have?
Not a very good one in all probability I can tell you that.

In all seriousness, our church JUST got a new pastor. We had been without a pastor for 2 years and 1 month. There were some real issues with the former pastor (his wife, specifically). We never thought it would take 2 years to find a new one. But I really believe now that we needed that time for God to do some healing in us before the new man came. We are certainly not the same congregation that we were two years ago. Same people - but we've all changed. Alot. It's been a good thing.
There is nothing wrong with waiting to see what God's timing is.

If 2 years without a pastor made you better people just think what 5 or 10 years could have done!

Your denomination doesn't have a thousand more ministers than churches.

nope, you're right, we do not. Becoming a minister in our denomination is not an easy thing. It is a very serious thing

Glad you got a new pastor and it worked out for you. We are still looking at my church, but it is not like we are desperate to find one right at this moment, I suspect we will simply keep looking until we find one like you did.
How long it takes is...basically...."how long it takes"!(However long that is, is anyone's guess)

Re: Prominent Memphis Area Pastor Resigns
Talked to a former TPC staff member yesterday who said they have narrowed down the selection process to three names. Don't know who the three are, but one is coming in tomorrow to preach. A former missionary and a current pastor from Corpus Christi. So CC1 you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Thought I would see who today's candidate is but when you click on their live webcast for today it has a banner across the bottom saying "there will be no broadcast today March 3, 2013". I wonder what is so top secret about a potential pastor's sermon today? Perhaps he plans on addressing specifics of their situation rather than just preaching a stand alone sermon. In that case I can understand the discretion.
According to the UPCI website the current Corpus Christi pastors are;
Russell D. Campbell
Rod Carpenter
John Everett

Made me curious enough to look at last weeks service to try to see if the was announced….
City is Bay City not Corpus
Potential Pastor preaching today and tomorrow night: Kevin Blake, former missionary and current Pastor of Apostolic Pentecostal Church of Bay City Texas. Only been there 2 1/2 years.
I thought I'd pass this on before any rumors started circulating about any of those Corpus Christi pastors...

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?
Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

Thanks Triumphant!
There was a time when I knew of all of the up and coming pastors in the UPC but now I have no clue who many of these guys are including Pastor Kevin Blake. I have never heard of him.
