Under the leadership of the Lord, the Pastor Search Team recommends a man be called by St. Andrew Baptist Church as Senior Pastor. The church, through a series of meetings, will get to know the candidate and pray over their decision before voting. If the candidate receives a three-fourths (3/4) majority call from the church in a ballot vote at a Special Called Church Conference, he is called to be the next Senior Pastor of St. Andrew Baptist Church. September 20-24 is a time to meet and greet the prospective pastor and his family. There are different meeting times with the staff, deacons, Center of Hope, Lifechange Group Leaders, and a time for the St. Andrew Baptist congregation to ask questions. On Sunday, September 24th, the prospective pastor will preach, give his testimony, and share his calling to St. Andrew Baptist Church.
