Ministry Description |
We are well known in our community as The Big Red Church. We are proud to be a community of spiritual seekers who welcome people who are searching and questioning. We have children’s ministry, Bible study, prayer ministry, outreach serving the hungry and the unhoused, and a vibrant music program. We know there is much more to be done in our work toward justice. We are a congregation in transition and we seek a pastor who can help us navigate changes to renew and revitalize our people and our ministry. We are Open and Affirming. We see ourselves as a welcoming congregation. We seek a pastor who will assist us in living up to that image. We also need to work through issues of conflict within our congregation. A few years ago, after an outside assessment and a period of self- examination, we concluded that we needed to undertake a process of “mission redefinition.” We did not undertake that process, but we see revisiting that work as a way of reigniting our passion. We seek a pastor who can help us discover the tools we need to accomplish this. Depending on how the relationship between the designated-term pastor and our congregation develops, we are open to the possibility of calling that person to be our settled pastor. |
