finding a new pastor

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!

Our Pastor left recently. Our denomination leaders told our elders finding a new pastor will take 18 to 24 months. This seems excessively long to me and I worry that our church will shrink if it takes that long. Does that timeframe seem normal to most of you?
