My Church just got a new Pastor. It took us about 6-8 months from the moment our Pastor retired, to the moment the new one started. We had the local Director of Spiritual Studies at a local University come in as the intern during that time. The deacons went through a bunch of resumes and interviews before finding our current Pastor.
You definitely want to make sure you make the right choice for your Church and I can see how such a long time frame can be discouraging, but just try to continually stress the importance of the Church Body staying together. We had a few people leave, but we just kept stressing the importance of the need for unity in this scary transition.
Praying for your church!
Dear brother/sister
