What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Minister position at First Congregational Church of Hudson, Michigan?
First Congregational Church of Hudson is prayerfully seeking qualified and called individuals who may feel led toward a pastoral ministry opportunity within our congregation.
Due to a family health circumstance affecting our current pastor, our church is beginning the process of identifying and connecting with potential candidates. At this time, no official vacancy date has been established while our current pastor continues to faithfully serve our congregation. Per his contract, there will be up to a 30 day transition period, once you are hired.
Our congregation expects a Scripture-bound preacher who prioritizes the Word of God as the ultimate authority for faith and practice. He should be a compassionate and energetic individual with the ability to think outside of the box in order to guide, inspire and grow our small congregation. This individual must be a dynamic leader who will help us navigate as we continue to grow our connection with the community, bolster our spiritual foundation, and aid in bringing new life into our congregation. Experience in church growth preferred.
