We reduce a 12-18 month pastoral search to a curated shortlist of 5 qualified candidates — delivered in 48 hours.
Every candidate is pre-screened against your church's specific criteria: character, competency, chemistry, calling, and cultural fit.
Your shortlist is personally reviewed by a ministry hiring expert before delivery.

Return on Investment
"$1,500 represents 1.7–3.3% of the hire's first-year salary ($45K–$86K ministry salary range).
Compare that to the cost of a 12-month failed search or a bad hire that fractures your congregation."
