Ministry Description This position is serving two separate, yoked congregations, St. Mark's and St. James UCC. With God’s blessing, these churches have maintained a yoked relationship of over 160 years. We have worked together to build a strong and positive relationship. Located a few minutes from Sheboygan and Manitowoc and just an hour from the larger cities of Green Bay/Milwaukee/Appleton, our rural churches and home-town congregations provide a warm and welcoming place of worship. Our smaller congregations create a family-like environment that results in first name “Good Mornings” and more personal relationships between the pastor and members/guests. As we look to replace our retiring pastor, we are excited to find a pastoral leader who will share the passion and commitment that we have become accustomed to and will also be up to the challenge and opportunity of improving our churches’ ministry. Both congregations are financially sound. When needs arise, we are able to address them. This good fortune allows us to prepare for future challenges and to be faithful to the visions and plans God has for us. We look forward to energetic Sunday worship experiences that are biblically and scripturally sound, challenging, and apply to our current life situations. We also value a sense of humor. We look forward to our youth and congregations being engaged in additional outreach opportunities. We are blessed to have an active, strong Sunday School program at St. James and look forward to continuing to plant the seed of faith that continues to bring back our local families. Currently St. Mark’s is striving to rebuild a Sunday School program. We hope for our new settled pastor to assist with change where needed, yet to also recognize and support our successful ministry and the traditions that built it, being up to the challenge of helping us grow in numbers, spirituality, and fellowship. We strive to show love as Jesus taught us–for God, for each other, for the world, and for self.
