Ministry Description |
Where are we going? That's a great question, even more so as we emerge from Covid and begin doing the work to figure out what church is going to look like and how we might live into this changed future. We have recently called a new Senior Pastor and we are already making plans for incorporating the wisdom we have gleaned from the last year as we move forward. We anticipate we will need someone who can function in the old ways while helping us bridge into a new hybrid church of in person and digital media ministry. What we’re doing in the meantime is saying “yes” a lot. We are working on breaking a culture of resistance and hesitation. In particular, we’re saying yes to hands-on mission work and to outside groups using our building. We know our general direction: toward more faithfulness in broadening expressions; toward deeper engagement with our community to even better meet the needs of the people and raise the standard of living in our town; toward a more extravagant welcome. We are seeking someone with a pastoral heart who leads with love and is anxious to become part of a ministry team that is comprised of staff and volunteers. We imagine this person to be engaging and creative - willing to help us imagine a new and deeper faithfulness, rooted in tradition, with a spirit of innovation. We anticipate a person who is centered around the gospel - the life of Jesus - and the richness and challenge for life that this congregation offers. |
