Ministry Description |
Chinese Congregational Church, in San Francisco, seeks a Designated Term Minister to serve full time for a term of 24 months (or more) beginning as soon as possible. The DTM will provide critical continuity to the congregation as we continue to stake out our identity as a progressive church in ethnic Chinatown and explore what that means for our mission and faith witness. We have, for example, voted to be an Open and Affirming congregation, and will be working on our ONA covenant, revising our mission statement, and perhaps even consider a name change. We face challenges in serving our Cantonese-speaking parishioners. The DTM will also help prepare us for a new Settled Minister. At this point the DTM will be the only ministerial staff person of CCC but will collaborate with a group of dedicated and talented lay leaders. We currently number approximately 75 members; of these, about 60 are English speaking, about 10 are Cantonese speakers, and about 5 are fully bilingual. The position includes, but is not limited to, preaching and liturgical responsibilities in a weekly worship service. We currently conduct English worship in person and via ZOOM during the first three Sundays of the month. The fourth and fifth Sunday are ZOOM only. We are providing monthly Cantonese worship services featuring guest speakers, with the DTM planning the liturgy and providing general guidance to ensure continuity and consistency between the two congregations. The DTM will also provide pastoral care and meet with multiple committees and boards. We would expect the DTM to continue to promote sacred conversations about matters of race, social justice & LBGTQIA+ issues. |
