Bottom line, would never undertake a massive succession plan for a Lead Pastor without The Slingshot Group.

We highly recommend Slingshot to any church or organization seeking assistance in finding a great senior leader. We knew we needed a professional in searching for a new senior pastor. We had no idea how hard and intensive the search would be. Slingshot provided us great wisdom in leading us to develop our search profile and vetted a myriad of applicants sending only the best matches focused for what we were looking for. Slingshot was always available when guidance was needed for the number of outside issues that arose and impacted the search. I couldn’t imagine going through this process without Slingshot's prayers, guidance, expertise, and encouragement.

The team at slingshot have become less a search firm and more a group of friends who help us find great team members, make connections with other churches, and give us counsel around all areas of ministry. Slingshot feels like a true partner in our ministry, I can’t imagine turning around our staff culture without their help.

I highly recommend slingshot. The roadmap for candidates is an awesome tool for churches in their search for new staff.

Slingshot Group provided highly constructive, thoughtful expertise in leading a succession process. None of us on our team had ever had this experience, so Slingshot's leadership and coaching was priceless.

Slingshot has a process that produces a win-win for both parties in the search

I could not manage the workload or stress of conducting a search using my own resources and networks. After some disappointment working with some other search firms, I turned to slingshot. And that was the smartest leadership decision I’ve made in a while. From their process to candidate presentation, they have been remarkable to work with.

We had run into a wall trying to find the right candidate for our student ministries team and Keith and his team did a great job of finding the right candidate for us. This was a great step in finding the right person for a vital position.

We are grateful for Slighshot’s help in our search process for an Associate Pastor. We had successfully used Slingshot before in a Lead Pastor search. They significantly expanded our applicant pool geographically and talent-wise, compared to what we would have had access to on our own. Given their expertise in the church-hiring process, our rep from Slingshot was able to use his personal knowledge to help guide us at some key points in our search decision making. We are pleased with the outcome of our search, and feel the candidate we landed is a great fit for our church in many ways. Bryan Scott, Lead Pastor

Our Executive Pastor search was guided by the Slingshot Group all along the way, from background profiles, to pre-screens, to guidance about interviewing and finally advice about offers. Couldn't have been successful with out Slingshots assistance.

Using Slingshot in the search for a high level leader allowed us to assess only candidates who had a high chance of being a fit. Being able to hand off running an entire search to someone I trusted made it possible to find the right candidate without having the search consume all of time and cost me effectiveness in other areas.

Slingshot is a group of wonderful people who care about finding you the right fit for your business or organization. They listen to your needs, they don't waste your time and they go to work for you!

Slingshot Group is a top level organization that knows how to match the right candidate to the church. They have a great skill at understanding the needs of the position we were trying to fill and found very good matches for us to interview. We were able to sit back and go about doing ministry while Slingshot was searching, vetting and matching the right candidates for us. I highly recommend utilizing Slingshot to assist you in finding the right people for your church to accomplish God's vision in your church.

We were looking for a very specifically gifted individual for our leadership team. Frankly, we were not sure that such a person could be found, but Slingshot found us an individually perfectly suited for our team. We have been blessed by their efforts.

Slingshot is a much needed service for any church that is seriously seeking the right person for the task! Keep letting God use your organization!

We have tried to find qualified candidates on our own, but since we have a fairly small staff, we found we just didn't have the time or bandwidth to weed through unqualified candidates. Slingshot did an excellent job understanding what we were looking for, and the type of person who would fit well into our culture. It was definitely an investment, but in my opinion, worth every penny.

Slingshot allowed me to expand my search pool beyond my traditional reach in an incredibly tight market. The consultant truly helped me in making the process better. I only regret not engaging Slingshot sooner in the process.

"Slingshot has been a significant help in the succession planning for our lead pastor transition. They took the time to understand our situation, build a relationship with our outgoing lead pastor and thoroughly interview and evaluate our top candidate. With their help, the elders were able to go through the many steps of the succession process wisely and communicate clearly with our staff and congregation in a way that maintained unity. We highly recommend Slingshot for succession planning."

We hired a worship director with Slingshot's help, and we couldn't be happier! The dedicated service and professional expertise is second to none.

We're grateful for the role that Slingshot Group played in helping our church hire a worship pastor. The communication was excellent and Slingshot Group did a great job in understanding our culture and helped to find high-quality candidates. We would definitely work with Slingshot Group again in the future.

Slingshot really helped us discern and articulate who were were and what kind of person we thought God was calling to be our next campus pastor.

I have now worked with Slingshot group for two staff hires. Church staffing has been a challenge throughout our area and due to so many issues of the last few years. But the people of Slingshot have been wonderful to work with, honest, and gracious in their interactions.
