Ministry Description Lake Region Parish is seeking a Pastor to continue our vision of becoming more unified. Presently this is being accomplished by implementing all union services on a rotating basis. We seek a Pastor to guide us, cheer us, pray for us, and walk with us on our spiritual journey. There is room for more participation through combined adult bible study groups, Sunday school events, and women’s groups. We would hope a new pastor would bring new and exciting ideas. We have enthusiastic members, but we are struggling with participation as well as diminished attendance. Our congregations are made up of late middle-aged and retired members. For the past several years we have seen a decline in new members and baptisms. If we are to grow in numbers and spiritually, we need to attract young families. Our vision is to grow Sunday School and Youth programs along with Adult Bible Study. Worship is important to us as it creates a personal relationship between God and the believer. It can also help to bring our diverse community together. Our members are caring and supportive, and though we have a traditional worship service, we believe we are flexible in making some changes to accommodate the new generation. Because our congregations are elderly, we need someone that can relate to our aging population and in order to grow, someone who would also relate well with young families, children and teens. An intergenerational congregation has much to teach each other. Please download our Profile by clicking on the blue download more information button on the right.
