Ministry Description |
Onekama First Congregational United Church of Christ is a strong Christian congregation with stable finances composed of people at different stages in their faith journey. We are a congregation where 30% of the members are engaged in the community through volunteer service, work positions, elected office or membership in community organizations. As a church we actively participate in events such as Fall Festival, Onekama Days and school promoted family support programs. We are located in a four-season recreational community with an excellent pre-school to grade 12 program and a wide range of services, including excellent medical services in the extended community of Manistee. The town is nestled along Portage Lake and Lake Michigan. Our community has a wide breadth of socio-economic family conditions that is reflected in the membership of the church. There is also a vibrant retirement community that lives in the town year-round and a summer population of generational families that increases our population 100%. Attendance at the church almost doubles during the summer. The church conducts services and celebrations in a well-maintained classical church. Church services are joyful and engaging. Music is important to members and there is a strong sense of fellowship into which all are welcome. Through readings, conversations and sermons, members strengthen their understanding of the application of Christian values in today's world. We seek a Pastor who can strengthen and advance who we are as a church community, who will guide us to engage young families and enhance services to our senior citizens. We welcome candidates early in their career, those in mid-career who are looking for a change and those who, in transition to retirement, may want to join a dynamic congregation. We will also consider co-career applicants. |
