Senior Pastor
Location:
Newark, OH
Description:
St. John’s United Church of Christ is looking to call a full-time pastor following the 2022 retirement of our pastor who served with us for 14 years. We are looking for a pastor who has a clear profession of personal faith, love for the church and is committed to modeling spiritual disciplines. The right candidate would have good leadership skills with the ability to patiently learn about the church and its members before developing new initiatives. Our called pastor would be a leader who can earn trust through humility and interdependence with an innovative spirit and a down-to-earth, approachable demeanor. The pastor we are looking for would be able to give Christ-centered, inspiring sermons that focus on the teaching of the Bible as the word of God. The congregation is looking for a pastor to celebrate with us through the rituals and ceremony of our faith. In addition to weekly sermons, our pastor would also need to visit sick and homebound members, support Christian education, fellowship events of the congregation and be a fellow traveler with us as we turn our hearts toward our creator with greater faith.We are a congregation with a big heart led by an elected council and supported through committees. We are looking for a pastor who appreciates our heritage and can link that with our traditional and conservative beliefs. These beliefs are rooted in our history and foundation in the Evangelical (German) Church. We are financially secure and have a number of mission and outreach connections already in place. Our strengths include our music ministry with an established organist/pianist/leader who creates opportunities for sharing talents during worship. Sunday worship includes a traditional service that is in-person and live-streamed, a well-attended Drive-in service that has been in place since 1978 and a Thursday evening prayer service. We are open to refreshing and updating our services to encourage new church participants. We also have Sunday School opportunities for all ages and a Youth Group. We have accomplished much in our 183 years, but we know that we have much more work to do to bring God to the unchurched and the hope of Jesus to those within our reach.EDUCATION: minimum Masters of Divinity or 5+ years’ experience in a medium size church or largerEXPERIENCE: At least 1 year preaching under an ordained minister or 3+ years as Associate or Senior PastorHOUSING: the church owns a 3 bedroom parsonage or equivalent housing allowance
