PROCESS TO ELECT A PASTOR

What happens after the Pulpit Nominating Committee recommends a candidate?

We’re so grateful for how you have been praying for and encouraging us over the last six months, and now we want to graciously welcome you into this process - you have a pivotal and important role to play.

• Once the PNC announces the nominee, you the members take the primary role of evaluating the candidate and deciding if he will be our next senior pastor. We are available to answer your questions, so don’t hesitate to reach out!
• The session will call a congregational meeting with at least one week’s notice to vote on the candidate.
• The candidate and his family will visit, and there will be opportunities for you to meet them on April 16. The candidate will preach April 17.
• The congregation will meet to vote either yes or no to call the candidate. Only communing members of Clemson Pres who are in good standing are allowed to vote; however, you’re welcome to attend the meeting regardless of membership status. This will happen on Sunday, April 17
• When a congregation votes to call a candidate, he’s then examined by a committee of Presbytery on his Christian experience and views in theology, the Sacraments, and church government. This exam will be on Monday, April 18.
• When he passes the examination, he will then go before the entire Presbytery to be examined on Thursday, April 28.
• Once approved by Presbytery, the candidate can be officially installed as the new senior pastor at Clemson Presbyterian Church, date to be determined.
