Chemistry staffing will conduct a worldwide search using the profile created by our Leadership Team as a template. Chemistry staffing will look for people using the five essentials of a healthy, long-term church staff fit:

1. Theology- does this person believe the same as us on both core and secondary issues?
2. Culture/DNA- Will this person be a good fit for our community, church, and culture?
3. Personality- Does this person play well with others? Are they likeable?
4. Skills- Does this person have the talents and abilities we need to do a good job?
5. Chemistry- Will this person fit on our team? Do we want to do life AND ministry together?

Chemistry Staffing will then do three interviews (each one done by pastors they have trained) Once Chemistry has identified candidates who would match with AMBC, they will submit those names to the AMBC search team. The AMBC search team will then conduct interviews, verify references, and conduct background checks.

Once the AMBC search team has identified the candidate they believe to be the next Senior Pastor of AMBC, they will bring the candidate to AMBC for a weekend to meet with the congregation and preach on a Sunday.  Following the weekend, the candidate would be presented to the members of AMBC for a vote on whether to call him as the next Senior Pastor.
