Ministry Description Union Church is lay led in cooperative partnership with staff and clergy. The church membership is very diverse and theologically moderate to liberal. The congregation includes both a substantial number of longtime members who have been deeply involved in the church for many years and are often passionate about church issues and also many newcomers - members new not only to Union Church, but also to the UCC. We would expect the new Senior Minister to encourage, guide, integrate and support newer members through congregational leaership, programming or other creative means. The church has a rich and active mission ministry, quality children, youth and adult education programs and a diverse music ministry. We will look for our new Senior Minister to bring creative new ideas and a fresh energy and vitality to the church. More specifically, we are seeking a Senior Minister who is an effective communicator with strong people skills who is approachable and can develop a much desired and essential personal connection to the congregation. We are seeking a minister who will lead by inspiration and work hard to earn the trust of the congregation. In addition, past experience in problem solving, conflict resolution and growing a congregation would be seen as invaluable qualities. Finally, dynamic and inspirational preaching skills and providing relevant spiritual worship messages will be critical to the success of a Senior Minister at Union Church. The congregation views the calling of a new Senior Minister as a new beginning for Union Church.
