Ministry Description |
We are seeking a full-time interim pastor who will guide us through the process of selection for the next leader for our ministry and help us determine how we are uniquely positioned to serve God, this church, and our community. The interim will be responsible for: preparing and delivering weekly services and sermons in person and online, responding to individual congregational needs, engaging with lay leadership and boards/committees to ensure all groups are mission-focused, working with church school and youth and overseeing staff and daily operations. The interim should be technologically proficient to manage business in today’s virtual environment. Other staff: PT administrator, music director, church/youth director, treasurer. We believe that God is calling Plantsville Church to see beyond the next couple of years; to revitalize our ministry in service of individuals, families and engaging the wider community. We are an Open and Affirming congregation steeped in tradition and history with a desire to move forward living out our mission statement. We have long standing members, active lay leadership and a strong sense of community. However, we are a congregation, like many, that is feeling the effects of the pandemic and an overall decline in churchgoing. We believe that we need to explore partnerships with area UCC congregations to allow for meaningful dialogue and expansion of missions as we create opportunities to learn from one another, share resources and build stronger communities. During the pandemic we have continued worship each week in many formats (zoom, FB, outdoors, in-person) depending on the threat levels. We have continued, in scaled down versions, the major programs of our church: Bible study, knitting ministry, special music, church fair and a musical production. We truly believe that “All are Welcome” at Plantsville Church. We serve our community through mission giving, the UCC through participation and the wider world through disaster relief. |
