The meeting of the search team began at 7:00 pm at the church.
Search Team Attendees: Laura Bratcher, Allison Steineker, Rob Saxton, and Paul Stephens. No guests attended the meeting.
The team reviewed 2 new resumes that had been received past the September 1 deadline. The team determined that no other new resumes would be considered at this time.
At this point, the team has narrowed the search to 6 candidates, from over 70 resumes received in the last 90 days. At this point, the team is trying to bring each candidate to the same place in the search. That would be as follows:
-Resume on hand
-Application on hand
-Written questionnaire on hand
-In person or telephone interview conducted
-Sermon viewed by the team in person or on DVD
Once all candidates have accomplished each step as described above, the team will move to the next phase of reference checking and narrowing the field of candidates even further.
The meeting ended at 9:05.

The meeting of the search team began at 7:05 pm at the church.
Search Team attendees: Von Oliver, Laura Bratcher, Allison Steineker, Rob Saxton. No guests were present.
Sept. 1 was the deadline for resumes to be accepted by the Search Team.
The team began the meeting by conducting a telephone interview with a candidate located in central Kentucky.
After the telephone interview, the team discussed a handful of new resumes that had been received prior to Sept. 1.
The team also discussed the fact that the other 7 candidates on the "short list" had returned their applications and written questionnaires to the team for further consideration. The team hopes to conduct telephone interviews next week with two or three of these candidates.
The next step for the team will be on site visits to observe and listen to sermons from some of the leading candidates. One such visit is being planned for later in September.
Lastly, the team, via Von Oliver, will provide a brief search committee update to the congregation after the church service on Sunday, Sept. 12. Later in September, at an upcoming congregation-wide meeting, the team will provide additional updates and take questions from church members.
The meeting ended at 9:45 pm.
