Ministry Description Title: Senior Minister Designated Term: June 1, 2024, through June 2028 (estimated) The Senior Minister will help the congregation identify and drive the changes, both large and small, that are necessary to maintain the viability of FCCSJ, as a messenger of God’s all-inclusive love, and as a force for realizing Jesus’ vision for a just and loving world, well into the 21st century. FCCSJ is already engaged in multiple activities and initiatives (listed below) which are part of this church transformation process. The Senior Minister will work with lay leaders, who will drive administrative and logistical components of these activities, to help provide vision, guidance, leadership, and coordination across these activities to ensure they act synergistically to transform FCCSJ. This will specifically include guidance on implementing these challenging and potentially uncomfortable changes in a caring and loving way. • Engaging with UCC Building and Loan Fund to provide their Visioning and Strategic Planning services to help FCCSJ articulate our Mission in actionable terms. • Evaluating different options for the development of our church campus property to determine the path which will best support the mission of FCCSJ moving forward. • Continuing our engagement with community groups like the Silicon Valley Sponsoring Committee and the Silicon Valley Safe Parking organization, as we seek ways to alleviate the hardships of people dealing with housing insecurity. • Building on our live streaming capabilities to create a more engaging hybrid worship service to meet the needs of our immediate church family and to extend our reach into the wider community. • Supporting our Community Communications Ministry Team to enhance our communications to outside groups and individuals, to better “tell our story”, and to expand our use of social media to better connect with individuals using their preferred channels of communication.
