Ministry Description You belong here at First Church in Wenham! In our wide-open welcome that starts every worship service, we affirm that we belong to God, to each other, and to our community. Belonging and connection are essential to our ministry and mission. As our Associate Pastor, you will be part of a vibrant, creative, collaborative, intergenerational, community-centered congregation that seeks to deepen our faith by connecting with God, one another, and our wider world. You will find your calling among a faith community that cherishes where people are on their spiritual journey and celebrates their beautiful diversity. You will have the opportunity to nurture the congregation's faith formation by providing educational and experiential opportunities for children, teens, and adults to develop and deepen their relationship with God and the church. Your leadership will guide our healthy Sunday-morning faith formation for children and middle school youth and create a high school youth program. This is a perfect calling for you if you enjoy building authentic relationships with youth, children, parents, and volunteers; love the synergy of co-creation with other talented people; like to communicate clearly; lead with grace; and can organize with purpose. While about 60 percent of your time will be devoted to building our faith formation program, you will be able to bring your full pastoral skills to complement and round out our pastoral staff. Once a month, we look forward to hearing inspiring, dynamic sermons from you and to opportunities to assist with worship, pastoral care, baptisms, weddings, and funerals, in collaboration with the senior pastor. We look forward to your leadership, enthusiasm, spiritual depth, and joy in our community.
