HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT CELEBRATION MINISTRY STAFFING...

"Our church was very pleased with our experience with Celebration Ministry Staffing. We had looked for a Pastor of Worship and Discipleship for almost 2 years with very little movement or interest.

Upon partnering with CMS we were presented with a candidate who matched our church’s convictions and culture within a month.

During the process, Gary Matthews was a fabulous representative for CMS. He did a lot of listening at first, which put our leadership team at ease. We believed that CMS understood who we were and what we were looking for. That provided them with what they needed to find a good fit for our church.

We are grateful for the Celebration Ministry Staffing.”

Jonathan Chadbourn
Teaching Pastor
Cornerstone Baptist Church

HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT CELEBRATION MINISTRY STAFFING...

“We had some specific preferences when it came to what we were looking for in a ministry candidate, yet the staff at Celebration Ministry Staffing understood those preferences and patiently worked with us.

I am grateful they listened well to us and provided us with an abundance of material on each candidate they suggested. They truly champion each candidate with enthusiasm, but also aim to be sensitive to the local ministry context of each church.

We are pleased with how God used this process and the personnel at Celebration Ministry Staffing to lead us to the person now serving our Lord and church family so well.”

Another exciting opportunity by Celebration Ministry Staffing!

HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT CELEBRATION MINISTRY STAFFING...

Emmanuel Baptist in Enid, Oklahoma has enjoyed a rich heritage of music ministry for over 6 decades. Worship has been a high priority for our fellowship of believers. When the time came for the next generation of worship leadership, we realized that the search would not be easy, so we called upon Celebration Ministry Staffing to help us in the search for God’s man to be a part of our team.

The founder of CMS, Phil Barfoot had been to our church many times over the past 20 years recording our choir and working with our people. There was no doubt that his team would be very helpful through this process. Our people knew and trusted Phil and we were very pleased with the attention and leadership that he gave to our church. The process was not quick but it was thorough, and at just the right time the Lord brought us His man as our next worship leader.

I am so grateful to CMS and to Phil for their diligence and commitment to us in helping us find God’s man for our church.

I wholeheartedly recommend CMS to you as you search to find the person or persons that God has for your church.

Dan Heath
Retired Worship Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church.

HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT CELEBRATION MINISTRY STAFFING...

“About six months into our search for our next worship pastor, we realized the “old-fashioned” way of publicizing our opening and waiting to receive qualified resumes was not working and out of touch. But having had a negative experience with a different search firm in the past, we were hesitant to go this route again.

Therefore, choosing to go with Celebration Ministry Staffing was a big decision for us. A big decision, but the BEST decision!

Celebration knew the history of our church and knew what we were looking for, and in less than three weeks Phil and his team found our candidate and the process was off and running. With their vast network of contacts and professional experience, Celebration served us above and beyond all our expectations.

We could not be more pleased with what God has done through the team at Celebration Ministry Staffing. Every penny spent was worth it!” Byron McWilliams, Senior Pastor, First Baptist, Odessa, Texas

We also want to thank our very own, CEO, Phil Barfoot, General Manager, Scott Lee, and Vice President of Recruiting, Joey Guarino for all their hard work in this partnership!

Great days ahead for Westside!
