Ministry Description |
185-year-old church seeks a full-time minister to learn and grow spiritually with a congregation of New Englanders. Located in a vibrant and beautiful community, this active congregation is searching for balance between comfortable traditions and the need to change. We seek a minister to join with us to discover and fulfill God’s purpose for the Church in a complex world. The congregation desires a spiritually-based worship experience that is relevant and reverent, stretching us beyond the familiar and comfortable. We desire alignment with our mission statement to be an open, welcoming, and affirming congregation. Youth ministry is an urgent priority. We seek a minister to partner with volunteers and staff to reinvigorate programs for children, teens, and families. Maintaining an emphasis on outreach will require an ability to: value and support members responding to neighbors in need and/or working on social justice issues; identify areas of need or injustice and initiate a response; and work as an interfaith collaborator. Further expectations include a willingness to provide wise counsel, visitations, or other support to those in need within and outside of our church community. The ideal candidate will be a skilled administrator/supervisor able to partner with staff and committee members, optimizing our democratic processes. All are welcome to apply, but it’s important to know that Maine is blessed with four seasons. Our new minister need not love all four, but must be able to appreciate the beauty and challenges each season has to offer. |
