Ministry Description |
Edgerton Congregational UCC is a small church, on a small street, in a small town. Our church exterior is understated. The square, white structure is simple with a few shrubs in front and perennials that, depending on the season, decorate our sidewalk. The simple structure allows our stained-glass windows and open-air bell tower to stand out and shine. Front and center of our church is the rainbow-colored banner that unabashedly conveys we are “Open and Affirming.” When we gather on Sunday, the number of people ranges between 15 – 45. Lately, we have enjoyed the giggles of small children as new families take interest in our church. As they step inside, families might notice handmade banners and children’s pictures from past years - all reflecting a steadfast love for God’s creation and generations of people that have sat in the pews. Our sanctuary is set up in “the round,” giving congregants the opportunity to see each person gathered that Sunday. The coffee will be on and the treats will be out because, though we are not flashy, we believe in preparing a welcoming environment. We seem to attract people of the earth, of hard work, of good deeds and those who intrinsically know that God is not exclusive and God’s love is for all. We are a curious people – on the lookout for how God shows up in our joyfulness as well as our pain. We want to know more about Jesus and learn more about how the old-time scripture can be applied to the complex world we inhabit today. We feel called to think constructively, connect meaningfully and act purposefully. We seek a minister who will notice the people in this church - the micro-ministries that quietly continue regardless of how the numbers dipped through the pandemic, and who will encourage members in these ministries. We seek a minister to partner with a church body that has a rich history of stewarding the church and advocating for the oppressed. We have emerged from the pandemic with a deeper desire to grow in God’s love! |
