Service Management

Pastoral Search Committee;

After reading your post for a Pastor, I would like to know more about

what you are looking for in a Pastor, where you are at as a church. I

firmly believe that the candidacy process is importantly difficult, so

that the needs of the church can be assumed by the right person, the one whom God has chosen for you. May our Lord and savior help you through

this long and difficult process.

That being said, would you please take a few moments of your time to look over my resume in consideration of your need of a Pastor. If you think that I could be a potential

candidate, based on my resume, I would enjoy further correspondence with you. I

will pray that God will guide and direct your pastoral search, and the

He will bless your efforts with the perfect match for your congregation.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Brian Sheldon

Objective:

To serve the Lord in a full

time ministry position. As a child of God I have experienced

the reality of our Heavenly Father. Therefore

it is my duty and intent, to be ready with

the Word of

God, provide Biblical truth, restoration and direction; to those who are

struggling in

a world lost in sin. Such that, the Holy Spirit can build up: desire, faith and

growth in

individuals who have accepted, by faith, the love of a gracious Savior.

I firmly believe that God

has called me to devote my life to ministry and has given me a desire to love His church. It is my longing to see that church become a

powerhouse of community; who's single minded goal, is to

bring honor and glory to our God, by telling everyone about the good news of our

Savior, Jesus Christ.

To be faithful in prayer, so that the will and acceptance of our

God is sought after and upheld.

Ultimately bringing glory to God, life to the church and success to the

ministry.
