Recently I had a conversation with a friend who was going to have an interview with a pastor search committee. Part of my advice to him, was to be sure that he was not only prepared to answer questions, but also prepared to ask good questions concerning the church on a wide range of issues.
I just noticed that Colin Adams, pastor of Ballymoney Baptist Church in Northern Ireland, has posted a great list of questions for prospective pastors to ask the church that they are interviewing with. Colin gives 41 questions, which cover theological, ministry philosophy, and personal issues.
This is a good list, and I would encourage you to read them and pass them along to anyone you know who is a pastor or is training for the pastorate. Read the list over at Colin’s blog: Unashamed Workman.
