Vanderbloemen

“Josh brought a wealth of knowledge of ministry background and passion for christian education that fit well with the culture of the Big Island as well as the people.”

“In the end, Jonathan was clearly the person God was calling,”

“In DeAundrea, County Line Church found a leader committed to their ministry and team. County Line Church is poised to move forward with a new sense of consistency, equipped to shape meaningful services that support their vision for their team and reflect their heart for worship”.”

“Doug Taylor from Crossroads called to tell me how pleased they are with their search, and how blessed the church has been since. They're starting a third service now as they are out of room! He went on to say that the whole experience was a great one!”

““Our team had very little turnover in these eight years. That comes from everybody having a good understanding of what direction we are going,” Todd says. “ This is a special place, and it’s an honor for me to work here. I don’t want to be anywhere else.””

““I love their core value of rapid responsiveness,” Brad says. “I love to be able to call, email, or text, and I get something right back instead of waiting for days.””

“I am more of a skeptic by nature, and I was amazed at Vanderbloemen's insight. It was incredible, and ultimately, the result is wonderful. I would never want to go through a process like this without having someone who's done it so many times. It would be impossible for us to be exposed to as many people as we needed to be and for us to be as confident as we were without a group like Vanderbloemen.”

“Throughout my time in ministry I have had a passion for discipling and shepherding students,” Andrew says. “I believe that God has gifted me to be able to relationally care for and disciple students in a way that helps them to see their faith not as a burden, but as a gift.”

“She was the clear best choice from the start,” said Rick. “She’s one of their own.”

“We would never have gotten to Nathaniel on our own, without Vanderbloemen’s guidance. It couldn’t have gone any better. Everyone loves him and his family and they love us. Truly God’s man for our church.”

““Karen and I are so excited that the Lead Pastor Search Team has recommended Pastor Alan and Lisa to serve the church as its next Lead Pastor and wife. Moreover, through prayer and personal interaction, I have come to believe that he is God’s man to lead the church into its next season of ministry.””

“Being able to offload all of that work onto the Vanderbloemen team, and then receiving three to four top candidates versus the dozens we might have otherwise had to sort through was huge. We've been thrilled with the outcome.”

“Dawson and Charisma did a phenomenal job sourcing such great candidates. In fact, Dawson said Cody was his favorite candidate and wished he was his pastor!”

“Timberline Church showed such trust in the process and a deep love for their church. You could tell they weren’t just trying to fill a role—they were genuinely seeking God’s direction. Aaron's heart for preaching, honoring legacy, and leading with humility made this an incredibly thoughtful and faith-filled match. I could tell God was preparing him for something amazing and I am so glad he found his next calling at Timberline.”

““You only get one good chance at it. And y’all did a good job of finding the right man.””

“Cornerstone’s dedication to raising up the next generation through Christ-centered education is truly inspiring. It was clear they needed a leader who not only shared that vision but had the depth of experience to lead with wisdom and purpose. With over 20 years in Christian education, David Raines stood out immediately. His passion, leadership, and proven track record made him a natural fit.”

“We are so excited for First Church to go beyond their reputation as 'the Big Church on US 30' to 'the hands and feet of Jesus' everyday throughout their community.”

“Shaen brought a wealth of valuable experience from his time as a co-leader at a multisite in Kansas to First Church. His heart, vision, and innovation are what First Church needed in their transitional season.”
