Ministry Description As we seek to become an even greater light in the world around us, we are excited to welcome a new pastor to join us in writing the next chapter of our ministry, serving as the hands of feet of Christ in our community. We are a progressive, inclusive congregation—a union of PCUSA and UCC with members representing many faith backgrounds—poised for spiritual growth and bold transformation. Our beloved, historic building serves as both sanctuary and hub for our active community leadership and many mission partners. We seek a dynamic and skilled leader (and engaged staff manager) to work with lay leadership to envision our future, guide us in reaching out to new generations and those in our community seeking renewed faith. We also look for a pastor who proclaims Christ’s radically inclusive love with intellect and passion.
