Pastoral Search
Thank you for your interest, but we are no longer accepting applications.
We have closed our search.
We are excited to share that God has blessed Clearcreek Chapel with a biblically qualified man that has answered our call to eldership to serve as a full-time Pastor for Preaching by joining our eldership and faithfully shepherding our congregation with the Word of God.
Future Expectations
We will continue to value preaching that is expositional following the emphasis and landscape of the Scriptures. We apply many principles from the Charles Simeon Trust and David Helm’s book, Expositional Preaching.
We make much of Christ in our preaching, and we remain committed to a new covenant perspective that magnifies Christ in all the Scriptures.
What will the process look like?
Step 1: Identify and Call
Praise God that we have identified a biblically qualified man, extended a call, and he has accepted. We are thankful for God’s provision to us.
Step 2: Integration
We will begin the process of integrating the man into our eldership as an elder. This will include time in the pulpit with training opportunities and discipleship as he settles into his new church community.
Step 3: Transition
Over time the current preaching pastor will decrease as the next man will increase. The goal is a transition over an intentional period of time with feedback and discipleship.

The candidate will transition into the role by joining the preaching rotation. Over a period of time (estimated 6 months to 1 year) you will transition to be the main preaching pastor, phasing out our current preaching pastor. We will provide discipleship and mentorship over this time.

This is new territory for all of us, including the elders. There will be questions that come up. We invite and ask you to approach your flock elder with your questions. We are happy to listen and help however we can.
