Ministry Description |
We seek an interim pastor to guide our 282-year-old congregation as we prepare for a settled pastor. Our congregation is friendly and we like each other! The church has a recent history of intentional self-reflection. Ten years ago, the congregation went through the Crossroads visioning process in order to identify our mission. We agreed on the concept of a church without walls, a “gazebo” open to the community, and emerged with a strong mission that has guided us for a decade. Our membership has declined and we are looking to reposition ourselves as a thriving small church that owns a large building in a community with many needs. We open our building to community groups (AA, Girl Scouts) and rent to 2 nested churches (Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish) for their worship, education and fellowship. We see these nested congregations as part of our future. Right now, we are trying to develop a social relationship with them that could grow into joint programming. Having a pastor who is comfortable with immigrant communities would be a benefit, and familiarity with Brazilian Portuguese and/or Spanish would be a bonus. Our focus is on the needs of our community. We want help in thinking differently and seek a pastor who will help us create a multi-cultural community of faith. |
