Update #1: Quail Creek Pastor search committee

Dear Church at Quail Creek Family,

 

The Pastor Search Committee wanted to take this opportunity to officially “Thank You” for considering us and selecting us to search for our next Senior Pastor. The entire search committee believes that communication is critical during this time, and we want to keep you informed of our progress as we move forward with the process.


On March 15,2026, we were selected via a vote of the church following the morning service.


The search committee includes: Mike Brown, Neil Currie, Cody Jones, Alyssa King,Billy Nichols, Gail Shoemake, Julie Winters and two full    participating alternates: Julie Gilbreath, Cliff Jones.


On March 22, 2026, we had an initial training with Shane Kendrix and Anthony Svajda from Southern Baptist of Texas (SBTC) learning the process of pastor search/selection that they recommend.


At the meeting, we elected officers for the committee. Those selected include: Chairman – Mike Brown, Vice-Chairman – Julie Winters, Secretary - Gail Shoemake.


After reviewing the training document with SBTC, we outlined the following next steps that we are working on:

  • Reviewing data to help create a profile of Amarillo and the community surrounding TCQC to share with potential prospects and identify gospel opportunities in the area.
  • Reviewing data and creating a profile of the current state of TCQC to help determine skills and characteristics the next Senior Pastor needs to lead TCQC into the future.
  • Developing surveys to get feedback from the entire church family and staff in reference to qualities and characteristics desired in our new pastor.
  • Praying – one of the most critical components is for the entire church congregation to be in constant prayer for our church, our church staff, the search committee, God’s man to lead our church, and that man’s family.

The committee plans to provide updates to the church family on a regular basis. (at least once a month). Have a great day and let’s pray that God will show us the man that He is preparing to lead us into the future for the glory of God!
