Classis Counselors

When a church is without a pastor, classis provides a classis counselor from outside the congregation to advise the church in all matters pertaining to the calling of a new pastor. The counselor may help a congregation develop a wise process for selecting a pastor but, at minimum, a counselor reviews the salary and benefits described before endorsing the letter of call. The congregation may request the services of a specific pastor for this purpose or the classis may assign someone to fill the role.
