I had the interview last night. 2 and a half hour drive one way to eat dinner and talk about myself and this church. It's a lot like dating. Only she better be a really good prospect if I'm driving that far!
At any rate it went great! Now it's just a matter of them getting back with me. From everything I know I think it will be a good fit. The next stage is where I do the meet and greet with the church. I'm sure it will involve meeting the students and the staff, a really long interview with the Elder Board, and some type of introduction to the entire church body.
However I have to make it to that stage first. I'm not a proven commodity, but I have a lot of potential sooooo the question is do we fit???
Cool Quotes of the Night -
*
Me - What does a regular Sunday Morning look like?
Pastor - We don't have those at our church.
*
Associate Pastor - We need someone we can Laugh with, this is a serious business (ministry) but you have to enjoy those you work with, so were looking for some one that will fit into our team
*
Me - What are your expectations for Office hours?
Pastor - Depends on your function, some of us spend most of our time in the office, others work more like real estate agents in and out with a lot of meetings. We realize that sometimes you’re going to be up here late at night and other days you'll need to be meeting outside the campus.
*
Me - So what I'm hearing you say is that the person that comes in has complete freedom to change whatever they need to get the job done?
Pastor - Absolutely.

Portland is a whole other planet... what a great opportunity ~ I'll be praying for you. I've actually never made it out there, but my friends from the NW (or who have since moved there)tell me if I ever visited I wouldn't come home. Of course, they're wrong. I adore Boston and yet I'm still making Little Rock home. God leads us in strange directions... thankfully.
Kim! Hey there. It's true if you visit the Northwest, then at least a part of you will always want to come back.
I'll get out there eventually, but since it seems like the kind of trip which would be better as a road trip than a fly in/fly out, it may be a while...
