Ministry Description |
With a nearly 275 year history, West Avon Congregational Church (WACC) has gone through many ups and downs. The meetinghouse has been renovated, closed and reopened, moved and expanded. It has seen 33 called and settled ministers, a number who ministered in temporary capacities and has "Raised Up" 10 ministers. Generations of church members have evolved with the changing times. But the meetinghouse still stands as evidence of our Christian commitment. Today, as with so many other mainline churches, we are fewer in number but we have a desire to continue our ministry and we are exploring new ideas and structure. Our vision includes being a lighthouse in the community for those who struggle with basic needs, for youth in crisis, and for those affected by the problems of mental health and substance abuse. We are seeking a Pastor who will collaborate with our members and leadership to energetically move our church toward its goals, fostering growth in both faith and community. The ideal candidate will be passionate about creating spiritually rich Sunday services, delivering engaging and relatable sermons that inspire and connect with people. We are also looking for someone outgoing, who is enthusiastic about growing and diversifying our congregation, as well as delivering compassionate pastoral care, especially for our long-time members who may need extra support. |
