Ministry Description |
Southwood U.C.C., a.k.a. "That Church," is a dynamic and growing Open and Affirming church in Kansas City with a strong commitment to teaching a progressive theology and seeking social justice. We are wanting to explore new models for ministry and are ready to call our first ever full-time Associate Pastor. Our Lead Pastor, Rev. Michael Stephens, has been here 22 years and is now going to focus mostly on preaching, leading worship and pastoral care. We are looking for someone to partner with him with a focus on congregational care, children and youth ministries and overseeing administrative details. We are also wanting to empower this person to pursue their own particular passions in ministry. This position offers an opportunity to be a part of a loving congregation and further grow into ministry in a rich environment. Southwood is a community open to change and always willing to try new things. Our highway billboard sign once asked: What church... welcomes gay families, encourages questions, empowers women, honors many paths to God and seeks social justice? That's when ThatChurch.us became our website. Our G.I.F.T.S. acronym describes us well as we Give to those in need, Invest in the wider church, Fellowship in Community, Teach a progressive theology and Seek social justice and peace. Would you like to join us on this journey? |
