Ministry Description |
The United Church of Dorset & East Rupert seeks a full-time settled minister to lead our vital, Open and Affirming congregation in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains. By many conventional measures—finances, membership, and activity—our church is in a strong position. While we seek a "competent captain" to take the wheel, we are also striving to discern where God is calling us next. We hope our new pastor will help us navigate toward this new path. Our congregation values our tradition of pastoral outreach, but we seek a leader who can balance that outward mindset with focused attention on leading our internal church community. We desire a pastor whose deep faith serves as an inspiring example, yet who can connect with those of "less faith" through intellect, humor, and kindness. Key priorities for our next chapter include: Intergenerational Growth: We hope to draw younger members into our beloved community and are open to a leader who shares that energy. Justice Work: Many in our pews are driven to bring God’s kingdom to earth through social and environmental justice; we seek a pastor to guide us in this work with love and respect for differing viewpoints. Collaborative Vision: While we have clear impressions of our needs, we remain deeply open to the journey God intends for us and our new pastor. Located on the historic village green in Dorset, we offer a supportive environment and a beautiful four-bedroom manse. We invite you to explore our community further through our narrative profile and our UCC National Profile.
