Ministry Description |
We are an intergenerational community seeking an inspirational engaged full-time pastor who is able to support all age groups in our beloved community, can build on community connections to attract others and will provide enthusiasm and resources to spread the goals of Jesus in the world and support our social justice agenda. We would like a pastor who follows the lectionary calendar, knows and understands the Bible, yet can, through sermons, translate and relate those lessons to our everyday life in common language. While we eagerly welcome new persons into our church community which is very strong, having a pastoral leader, who is effective in helping us to integrate others into our community, is essential. We want to try different ways of including everyone in our worship and adjust our worship program to accommodate different persons. We have begun to explore the ideas of “messy church.” Some families are unable to worship on Sunday at 9:30 am because of work schedules and sports activities of the youth. This challenges us to keep our confirmands and their families involved after confirmation. They are open to a later service on Sunday afternoon/evening. We are located in Washington County, informally known as ‘South County.’ It is a rural landscape populated with a cross-section of people from across the United States. Located in the heart of historic Kingston Village, our 200-year-old historic church is across the street from the campus of the University of Rhode Island. Academic, athletic, and cultural activities abound both on campus and in the area. Kingston is near several beaches, an Amtrak stop and several major cities. |
