Ministry Description Our church is searching for a part-time Designated Term Pastor to lead us as we continue our pursuit of a meaningful relationship with God, increasing our understanding of our Creator and each other with patience and love. The DTP's work will include leading Sunday and other special services, providing pastoral care, and supporting our various ministries. The congregation seeks a pastor who gives relevant, challenging sermons and encourages us to explore our Christian faith and how it relates to the world. We seek a pastor who will build meaningful relationships with parishioners and with our local community. Our church has always had a strong commitment to various types of mission work, and we hope our DTP will support our missions with us. We are seeking a pastor who can help us strengthen our practice of being a welcoming church and expand our presence in the community. We understand that this work will need substantial involvement by our congregation in partnership with our DTP. Volunteers from our congregation are already engaged and committed to help achieve these goals. Our iconic, traditional New England church is located on the beautiful, historic Common of West Brookfield, where our community gathers for summertime concerts, festivals, sporting events, and peaceful relaxation. Our community boasts a highly-rated school system and a wide variety of cultural events for families and seniors. Ours is a fun-loving congregation. We relish creative events, where we come together for laughter and fellowship. Our congregation cherishes our high-quality and diverse music program. We are a church community that works, worships, and enjoys each other's company in a variety of ways. We hope our DTP will consider the position of Settled Pastor after the DTP term ends if the 'fit' between the congregation and pastor is a good one for both.
