The Search for a Settled Religious Professional
and a Sample Search Website
and a Sample Search Website
During the last months of an interim religious educator's tenure, the congregation will enter into a search process for a settled professional leader. It is unwise for the interim religious educator to be directly involved in this search, as this is the work of the congregation. However, the interim professional can play an important role in the process by connecting those who are conducting the search process with helpful resources and tools. This page curates some of these resources. Many congregations are utilizing the internet to advertise their positions and engage interest from candidates. A webpage for the professional search serves as a homebase for communication and application documents; this template from the Guild of Interim Religious Educators takes you to a sample professional search website which is designed to give ideas and inspire your own unique creation. |
