BIBLICAL INTERVIEWING SKILLS

Ken Jones developed this audio series to train pastoral search committees with Bible-based, professionally tested interviewing skills to properly screen applicants for service within the church. This material also is applicable to any church committee that is selecting applicants for various positions within the local church.

This training has been approved by the EPC Ministerial Vocation Committee and is recommended for both search committees and applicants. At the time this series was developed, Jones served as pastor of the EPC’s Grace Presbyterian Church in Franklin, N.C.
