How to Pick a Pastor

Pastor Petrucci ministered this morning. In this message titled How to Pick a Pastor, Pastor Petrucci addresses the congregation during a time of pastoral transition, offering heartfelt guidance on selecting a new shepherd. Reflecting on the imperfection inherent in every leader, he reminds us that while charisma and outward appearance are tempting qualities, character and spiritual maturity are what truly matter. Drawing from 1 Timothy 3 and biblical examples like Saul and David, the sermon underscores the importance of choosing a pastor based on biblical qualifications rather than superficial traits. The pastor must be a committed shepherd, not just a gifted speaker—someone married to the church in love, leadership, and service.

The service also celebrated the dedication of a new baby and welcomed new members into the church family, marking a hopeful new season for the congregation.
