Ministry Description |
Atkinson Congregational Church is an Open and Affirming, multigenerational church seeking a full-time, shared pastor with Hampstead Congregational Church. At Atkinson Congregational Church, our focus is to inspire through worship, music, and growing faith. We envision a future where more people find hope, belonging, and spiritual nourishment among us. Located in the southern New Hampshire seacoast region, our welcoming campus—including a parsonage for our next pastor—supports both ministry and community programs that offer safe, inclusive space. We seek a pastor whose gifts will help us grow our congregation, strengthen our ministry to people of all ages, and reach people locally, online, and through community engagement. At the heart of all this is our desire to follow Jesus more closely—to love as He loved, welcome as He welcomed, and serve with committed passion. We pray for a leader who offers relatable, relevant preaching; is proficient with digital communication; values both contemporary and traditional music in worship; and brings compassionate, patient, and approachable leadership—with a sense of humor—as we move forward together, along with Hampstead Congregational Church. |
