Ministry Description Join with us as we implement a new co-pastor model to lead from a new perspective. Central Congregational United Church of Christ in Atlanta, GA is seeking a complementary minister to serve jointly in a co-pastor model with our newly called Co-Pastor (Rev. Thomas Mitchell - previously our Associate Minister). Preaching will be a shared responsibility (though does not have to be 50-50), and each Pastor will take lead for certain aspects of ministry. The primary Scope of Work we are calling you to lead is: Pastoral Care, Member Life/Engagement, Mission Outreach, Administration and Facilities Operations. This is our first time onboarding co-pastors, so it is an exciting opportunity for the congregation and co-pastors to envision and align and minister together. The church has spent significant time in discernment considering a variety of pastoral staffing models and selected this as the best match for our future growth and development. Rev. Mitchell is very encouraged to continue with the church and model the values the co-pastor model exemplifies –mutuality, collaboration, equality, sharing gifts, pastoral well-being, congregational development. We look forward to finalizing the scope of work for each co-pastor role through additional exploration of talents, skills and passions between our two co-pastors. Our church celebrates an open and progressive theology, and we are deeply committed to social justice and peace advocacy. Our sanctuary provides a breathtaking view of our nature preserve and the changing seasons to complement our exploration of theology in diverse and creative ways. We value thoughtful sermons that connect scripture to current action, and we seek creative ways to promote intergenerational and community engagement. Our regular Sunday service has ~75-90 in attendance in person and via Zoom. We know you will bring new ways to support and grow our mission and ministries as we are all called co-minister together.
