On A Personal Note...

As an experienced senior pastor of the past seventeen years, I was excited to hear of your church's journey in searching for a permanent senior pastor. I am confident I have the qualifications required to become the next leader for your church. The enclosed resume fully outlines the value I can provide for your church. The past many years has afforded me the ultimate privilege of pastoring the oldest church in Tennessee, along with other churches in Missouri and South Carolina. Also, my ministry experience in crusade evangelism over these many years has afforded me great experience in working with the local church and seeing lives changed for the glory of God.

My family and I have been called to minister in the local church and have been now for over twenty years. Jennifer and I have six great kids between the ages of three and seventeen. I know that with my extensive experience and my completed doctoral degree in practical ministry, I can contribute to your position as a pastor and leader. I have longed admired what God is doing today throughout the local church. It would be counted my pleasure to sit down with your pastor search team to discuss my qualifications as your next senior pastor.

If you take a moment to review my resume, you will see that I've successfully progressed in my calling, advancing to challenging positions in ministry. God has certainly been good to me and I give Him all the glory. I've also attached four qualified references for your information. Thank you for your time and worthy consideration.
