\nLong tenure is usually better for churches and their pastors. But there are occasions when you know it's time to make a transition. For example, many pastors are ready for something new when the nest is empty. Thom and Sam discuss what you can do when you are certain about a transition.
\n
\n \t
\n
\n \tThe average age of a pastor is almost 60, so more transitions are coming, not less.
\n \tWith the shortage of pastors, churches will need to consider internal candidates.
\n \tConsider your life stage.
\n \tConsider your geographic limitations.
\n \tStart with trusted people in your network.
\n \tSend your resume to multiple places only if you are very flexible.
\n \tUse search firms with good reputations.
\n \tDon't fantasize. Be strategic and thoughtful about what is reasonable given your experience, age, and background.
