Ministry Description RESPONSIBILITES OF A THREE-QUARTER TIME PASTOR AS LISTED IN THE CALL AGREEMENT WORKBOOK: • Preparation and leadership of Sunday worship, including scripture study, crafting of liturgy and bulletin (including proof reading), sermon preparation, planning of music in coordination with musical staff or volunteers, preaching, offering of prayers, etc. • Faith formation and vitality through prayer, Bible study, service, identifying helpful resources and opportunities. • Leadership development by working with people in the church to create ministry and programs. • Community engagement and leading the way for the church to be an ambassador of God’s love. • Participation in wider church activities such as conference and association meetings as time permits. • Participation in church activities such as Christian Fellowship. We look forward to settled pastor who is skilled in leadership development and rejoices in providing pastor care. We also acknowledge that we need and want a settled pastor who will take an active part in community organizations and events – this is an important means to improving the church’s visibility in our area and thus helping us grow our ministries. Administration skills are important with a particular emphasis on technology. What tasks and ministries of the church do we agree will not be the responsibility of the three-quarter time pastor? Based on the tasks enumerated in the Call Agreement Workbook, a settled pastor would have little or no involvement in “faithful financial development and leadership.” The board of Trustee and Council are responsible for the financial viability of the church.
