Columbus Junction, United Presbyterian Part Time Pastor
The United Presbyterian congregation is prayerfully looking for a pastoral shepherd to lead our worship in a biblical, yet practical, way. This church family has been successfully navigating our leaderless path in a hybrid manner of both pulpit supply and committee led worship. Our people are our strongest asset, during this time of being without a pastor we have actually added new members to our church family, our missions are thriving, our Christian education program is flourishing, we will celebrate our sesquicentennial in 2024. Things are alive in Columbus Junction to be sure! We are however missing continuity and someone helping us navigate. We are seeking someone to spend approximately 20 hours per week for this position. The majority of this time would be to allow appropriate planning for and delivering Sunday worship (8-10 hours). It would also be to spend time with the congregation to form relationships with regular worship attenders and those who would benefit from a simple pastoral visit among other tasks we have documented in our Pastoral Duties paperwork. We are strongly connected to our friends at the local United Methodist Church and participate routinely in ecumenical worship services during both the Lenten and Advent seasons primarily. Communication skills are important for our future pastor. We have a need for someone with strong collaboration skills as we have turned into a congregation of leaders in our own right!
Responsibilities include:
Preparing and leading Bible-based, yet practical sermons while communicating with the office administrator to create the bulletin and powerpoint
Collaborate with session, worship committee and other committees as needed
Willing to spend some time in Columbus Junction to visit home-bound or nursing home-bound congregation members
