Suzhou International Fellowship

A search has begun for a new senior pastor for SIF. This search will follow a rigorous process involving many steps. The position will be advertised, resumes will be reviewed, phone interviews conducted, face-to-face meetings held, candidates will visit Suzhou, etc. The most important part of the process is a lot of focused prayer (and you are invited to participate in this part – please).

You might be wondering where we find candidates for a senior pastor position like this. Actually, God can provide through a whole variety of means. We might get candidates through general advertising. More likely, however, God will provide through various contact networks. We are a church made up of people from a large number of backgrounds. That means that we represent many different networks. So, spread the word that SIF has begun the search for a new Senior Pastor.

We are very pleased to announce that Phillip Kellerman has agreed to return to Suzhou as interim pastor for a few months. During that time Pastor Phillip will be teaching from God’s Word and pasturing the attenders at SIF. Phillip and Darlene are no strangers to us and it will be good to have them back among us for a time. Please make Phillip and Darlene welcome.
