Ministry Description |
Check out this once-in-a-career opportunity to lead an established, progressive, ONA UCC church in a gorgeous Midwestern college town! As Midwesterners, we don’t like to brag, but to get your attention, we will, and we’ve created this short list of reasons why you should read our profile and apply: · Decorah UCC is 170 years old, financially stable, and thriving. · We are a brightly shining, respected beacon of inclusivity and welcome. · The lay leadership is strong, collaborative, and use common sense. · Members and friends of the church are interested, active, and engaged. · We embrace Jesus as our spiritual teacher and invite open dialogue about faith. · Our multiple social justice programs are well-managed and meaningful. · We pay competitively and offer a housing stipend and pension. · The sanctuary is beautiful and features stunning historic stained-glass windows. · We have enthusiastic college-age children’s ministers and fun kids’ programming. · The building is well-appointed and useful for all kinds of gatherings. · Decorah is a walkable and friendly town that people come back to after having lived away. The local school system is great and there is access to world-class medicine. Music, arts, theater, community, family, and social justice events are abundant for such a small community. Tourism, breweries, businesses, museums and Luther College keep things lively and ever-changing. It’s quite simply a great place to live. What don’t we have? Traffic. Big-box stores. Lines (except sometimes for ice-cream). Oh, yes… and we also don’t have a pastor. If you’ve got spirit, energy, and grace to share, consider applying. We’d love to welcome you to Decorah UCC. |
