Associate Pastor Search

We are excited about the future of this church under the leadership of our Senior Pastor, Dion Garrett, and Associate Pastor, Doug Mauss.  In the last year, we have recognized the needs of our congregation have placed us in a position to seek additional pastoral support.

We need a Pastor who embodies the values of Pathfinder congregation who will provide additional leadership, preaching, and care for our growing needs. This pastor will also have extensive leadership experience, a heart for developing people and teams, and a desire to meet people where they are and help them take steps on their life journey.

This process is guided by the Constitution and Bylaws of Pathfinder Church which states the right of calling a person to the office of the pastor shall be vested in the Board of Directors, subject to the approval of any such call by the Board of Elders and subject to the rights reserved to the voting membership. The calling of such staff shall be undertaken in accordance with the call procedures established by the Board of Directors.

The congregation can expect to consistently be updated throughout the process, to participate in the submission of names to be considered and to express affirmation and/or dissent of nominated pastors.

A congregational voter’s meeting will not be necessary for issuing a call to an Associate Pastor. Regular updates will be given throughout the journey of seeking an Associate Pastor in an effort to keep our church family informed.

No, the Board of Directors will establish a process working with the Pathfinder Church staff to ensure a list of the most qualified candidates available with the skills, talents, and gifts needed will be considered for Associate Pastor.

You can complete a referral form on our website on or before June 23, 2021.  If you have a relationship with the Pastor, we ask that you contact the person you are referring BEFORE you submit their name to confirm that they would willing to talk to Pathfinder about the Associate Pastor opening.
