Ministry Description |
The First Church of Christ in New Haven, also known as Center Church on the Green, is seeking an experienced minister whose past accomplishments demonstrate a call to the unique challenges and rewards of full-time parish ministry. Our ideal candidate would also have a track record of success in the area of congregational growth and revitalization--including experience in ministerial oversight of operations that are in some way equivalent in complexity to ours, especially with regard to stewardship demands and the current need to prioritize rebuilding membership and lay leadership “bench size” after a period of loss. Center Church is progressive in its polity and inclusiveness, but traditional in its worship. The Search Committee believes that, especially in this geographic area, this identity represents a unique asset and “niche” we have to offer to potential members. Our church membership has been deeply invested in the community of New Haven since our founding in 1638 and we seek a minister who will represent the church both locally and and regionally. Candidates should be willing to reside in the Greater New Haven area and to be visible presence for the church, particularly towards the goal of attracting wider membership. As a Congregationalist-heritage church unique in having a strong historical identity--and responsibility--as The First Church of Christ in New Haven, we would also prefer candidates who can share a genuine personal and professional interest in church history. This is especially critical given the collective discernment we are looking forward to entering together as a local historic and cultural institution at the turn of yet another century. |
