Ministry Description |
The Pastor should have general knowledge, experience, and effective skills in reaching out to those diverse in areas of religious beliefs, race, culture, gender, ages, family structures, sexual orientations, gender identities, nationalities, socio-economic status, and mental and physical challenges. The congregation would welcome a bilingual minister (preferably English/ Spanish). The most recent census data reports on projected ethnic changes in this area indicate the highest increase will be among the Hispanic population. The second highest projected increase is expected to be among the Black/ African American population. The Pastor should have the collaborative skills to participate in interfaith relationships and have the disposition to work with other religious leaders to form alliances benefiting and promoting unity within our community. As reflected in our Mission Statement, we are an inclusive and caring church that believes God is calling us to strive for peace and justice, to protect and restore God’s creation, to bring hope to others, and to live our lives with compassion and courage. Our move 4 1/2 years ago to share space with Temple Beth Shalom provided us with unique opportunities to work closely with another faith community and become a stronger voice in the Ocala area for interfaith understanding, respect, and dialogue. Our move this year to share space with Countryside Presbyterian Church provides us with continued opportunities to maintain that voice for interfaith cooperation in the Ocala community. As an Open and Affirming congregation, we have long stood for inclusivity and understanding; we believe that God is also calling us to be of greater service to our community. We believe that with God’s direction, we can extend our outreach and provide more educational, charitable, and social services to ourselves and our neighbors as we continue God’s work of “tikkun olam.” Please click on our full profile to learn more. |
