Ministry Description St. John’s United Church of Christ is looking to hire a full-time pastor following the 2022 retirement of our pastor who served with us for nearly 14 years. We are looking for a pastor who has a clear profession of personal faith, love for the church and is committed to modeling spiritual disciplines. The right candidate would have good leadership skills with the ability to patiently learn about the church and its people before making changes. Our called pastor would be a leader who can earn trust through humility and interdependence with an innovative spirit and a down to earth, approachable demeanor. The pastor we are looking for would be able to give Christ-centered, inspiring sermons that focus on the teaching of the Bible as the word of God. The congregation is looking for a pastor to celebrate with us through the rituals and ceremony of our faith. In addition to weekly sermons, our pastor would also need to visit sick and homebound members, support Christian education, support fellowship events of the congregation, and be a fellow traveler with us as we turn our hearts toward our creator with greater faith.
