FaithSearch Partners is exactly what they claim. They partnered with us at Rochester Christian University to find our 11th president. The Board had not worked with a search firm before. A new, and what turned out to be an amazing experience. Communicating with us through the entire process, guiding step by step, making sure they knew what we needed. Campus interviews with over 40 of the Senior Leadership Team, faculty, staff and of course the entire Board of Trustees. The search began with over 1,000 prospects. The final choice, guided by much prayer, is exactly who we need. Prayerful, professional, always available, FaithSearch Partners will always be part of the fabric at Rochester Christian University.

Partnering with Faith Search Partners — alongside Dr. Andrew Westmoreland and Dr. Jacqui Gustafson — was an outstanding experience. They combined deep insight, discernment, and a clear understanding of the unique challenges in leading a faith-based university. As chairman of the Lee University board, I valued how they blended professionalism with a genuine care for our mission and culture. Their guidance made a complex process feel clear and purposeful, and their work ultimately helped us find the right leader to guide Lee University into the future.

Jacqui Gustafson, Andy Westmoreland, and FaithSearch Partners earned our confidence and trust from the beginning with their responsiveness and overall professionalism. They kept the process moving forward in a timely manner, identifying an outstanding pool of candidates aligned with our criteria, and provided the guidance we needed to complete a successful search. We are thrilled with the outcome of this search, and it was truly a joy to work with FaithSearch Partners.

I am grateful for Ed Fry and FaithSearch for seamlessly navigating us through the search process. Just four months ago when we first met, I had serious doubts about identifying a candidate in such a compressed timeframe. But with God’s blessings and an astute committee guided by the professional expertise of FaithSearch Partners, we now have the best candidate who has accepted the invitation!
