You can’t afford another bad hire. We’ll help you find a pastor who fits.
Finding the right pastor shouldn’t feel like starting over. Yet too many churches spend months (and thousands of dollars) to fill a staff role, only to realize the new hire wasn’t the right fit. Now you’re back at square one PLUS managing the fallout, rebuilding trust, and trying not to lose momentum.
We help you get your hires right the first time.
We specialize in staff-level pastoral searches.
Our team helps churches find Associate-level Pastoral Staff (think Executive, Associate, Discipleship, etc.) who fit your theology, culture, and season.
Every placement includes one full year of personalized coaching to help your new pastor start healthy and stay healthy.
We understand the cost of a bad hire.
A poor fit can wound your staff, confuse your congregation, and drain resources. We’ve walked with churches who felt burned by the process. Now we're helping them rebuild with confidence.
We focus on people, not just résumés.
We look beyond credentials to uncover character, chemistry, and calling. Through structured interviews, personality insights, and detailed Candidate Profiles, we help you see the person behind the paper.
We build a partnership, not a transaction.
Our relationship doesn’t end when you hire. Every placement includes a full year of coaching and check-ins — because thriving leaders build thriving churches.
THEOLOGY - Your new pastor must be theologically compatible with your church.
CULTURE - He must be compatible with who you are, where you want to go, what you want to do and the community in which you reside.
GIFT-MIX - He must have the right gift-mix to shepherd your congregation in this next season of your church’s life.
SKILL-SET - He must have the right skill-set to shepherd your congregation in this next season of the church’s life.
PERSONALITY - The traits of his personality must be aligned to what the church needs in the next chapter of its life.
CONNECTION - He needs to be able to connect with the congregation and leadership. This includes his sermons and leadership style.
CHARACTER - His character traits will align with a godly leader who your congregation and the community needs at this time.
The Right Fit
There are seven areas of compatibility when identifying and assessing candidates. Great hires occur when the compatibility is the highest all seven.
There Are Two Ways to Search for your next pastor...
❌ The Traditional Way ❌
Post a job. Wait. Pray someone applies.
It sounds simple, but hope isn’t a strategy.
Here’s what usually happens: the people applying are already looking, in transition, or unsure about their current church.
That’s only a small slice of the available talent.
Meanwhile, the best-fit pastors are faithfully serving and not actively searching. Which means they may never see your listing. They’re open to God’s next assignment, but they won’t find it through a job board.
You need a way to reach them.
That’s where we come in.
✅ The G6 Allies Way ✅
We start by helping your team get clear on who you really need. Not just the title, but the kind of pastor who will thrive in your culture, match your theology, and lead your people well.
This clarity comes from our Candidate Profile process — a deep, guided conversation that helps your team articulate:
* What kind of leader your church needs in this season
* Which strengths, skills, and temperaments will work best on your team
* What your staff and congregation actually need from this role
Once that clarity is in place, everything changes.
You’re no longer hoping someone fits. Now you’re searching intentionally for the person who matches what you’ve defined.
From there, it’s just a matter of finding them... and that’s our
specialty.
Why This Matters
When you DON'T define the role clearly:
You attract candidates who check boxes but don’t fit your culture
You risk hiring someone who succeeds on paper but struggles in practice
You lose months of ministry momentum trying to “make it work”
When you DO define the role clearly:
Your search moves faster and more confidently
You recognize the right person when you see them
You hire a pastor who actually fits and stays
That’s the clarity we bring.
We don’t just fill a role. We help you define the right one. Then we tap into our network of more than 10,000 pastors to find the one who was made for your role.
