Ministry Description The Congregational Church on Mercer Island is a faith-filled church located on an island between the cities of Seattle and Bellevue and is beautifully nestled in the trees. It is filled with a congregation that loves one another and has been worshiping together for, in many cases, decades. We are a congregation of people committed to serving the Lord through service and love and are looking for a pastor partner to lead us in a revitalizing era. Through the strength of our incredibly rich sermons (and likely the best choir in the conference!), commitment to environmental stewardship, and being a welcoming and affirming congregation, we have added 18 new members to our church over the last couple of years, though our membership has decreased overall from 94 to 84 driven mainly by the truth that we are an aging congregation. We need a visionary pastor who can both continue to nurture the spiritual lives of our current members and supervise new programmatic staff to lead in a transformational era of this church. We will need a settled pastor who is a skilled orator, talented people-manager, and a natural visionary who is very comfortable partnering with well-educated church members who hold a wide range of Christian spiritual beliefs. In addition, we need a pastor who can lead outreach efforts to all people who seek spiritual growth and understanding (including but not limited to young families as well as members of our BIPOC and LGBTQA+ communities) and think critically about what value we can provide to our community to help draw them in to partnership and membership in our magnificent church.
