FaithSearch Partners is pleased to announce the church body at Hunter Street Baptist Church officially called Chandler Snyder to serve as its 15th Senior Pastor. Pastor Snyder began his service at HSBC on August 16th. Hunter Street is a 5,000-member congregation located in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover, Alabama.
“FaithSearch Partners was truly a biblically based partner with our Search Committee to allow the Holy Spirit to direct all of us to Reverend Snyder,” said David Long, Chair of the Search Committee. “We appreciate FaithSearch’s process and the focused efforts of David Walters, our primary search consultant. All parties began and ended the process in prayerful and intentional focus, communication and a congenial working relationship for the nationwide search.”
“Because of the commitment to prayer from the church, from Chandler, and from the FaithSearch team, it was a privilege to help Hunter Street in this important search,” said Walters. “I am excited for what God is doing as Chandler begins his leadership.”
Chandler joins HSBC from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and brings 14 years of ministry experience, including missionary service. He and his wife, Kelli, have three children.
