Ministry Description |
Hello. It’s me (again). I know you thought you were settled, comfortable, and had it all figured out. And maybe you haven’t heard from me in a while. But I have something special for you to think about. There is this church, this little church that has been doing big things for a long time. The mission of this church is to follow Christ in its walk with Him and each other - celebrating the traditions of its faith and the unique gifts of its Hawaiian heritage, sharing its aloha with neighbors near and far, and renewing itself and the earth by grace-filled living and giving. It is the only Open and Affirming church on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is five for five in its support of and giving to the ministries of its denomination. It also actively ministers to its congregation and community: feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, visiting the home-bound, and welcoming every person into the church. Like I said, small in size but large in faith, love, and spirit. But its members – my goodness, these faithful people – believe they can do even more with the right person leading them. And so, this church is searching for a designated term pastor for a minimum of two to three years, with the potential to become a full time settled pastor, who will partner with it to reach mutually developed church outreach and growth goals. In the first year, the Pastor may focus on building relationships with the congregation, laying the foundation for outreach and heralding (marketing) activities, planning and leading worship services and other Last updated May 15, 2023 faith sharing opportunities, and spiritually strengthening the congregation. Over time, as new programs, ministries, volunteers, and ways of working are collaboratively established, the Pastor’s role may transition to building internal capacity within the congregation preparing the church for future growth. This church has been praying about this. I’ve been listening. How about you? Are you listening too? |
