Your Pastor Nominating Committee has been actively reviewing and evaluating candidate applications for our Pastor / Head of Staff position in the past few months.

We have been blessed with quite a few excellent candidates and to date have received 79 candidate applications and several referrals from the congregation. 

 

A few of our top candidates will be invited to Kirkwood in the coming months so that we can meet with them face-to-face and give them the opportunity to get to know us, the staff, the church facility, and the Kirkwood community. For these initial visits, the candidates will not be introduced to the congregation and will not be preaching or attending Sunday worship out of respect for their confidentiality. That said, we are still accepting and reviewing new applications, and appreciate your help in our search. If you know a candidate who would be a good fit, encourage them to apply/send materials to pastorsearch@kirkwoodpres.org.
