Posted May 1, 2009

Are you a risk taker? Are you always thinking of new and innovative ways to do ministry? Then you’ll want to join the ministry team at a progressive 900 member protestant church in NW Chicago suburb in the midst of change and redevelopment. Must value a collaborative style, be evangelistically oriented, a strong communicator both orally and written. Comfort with technology a plus. Walking on water wouldn’t hurt either! About to undergo a major building renovation, the congregation will be relocating for worship to the community’s Performing Arts Center, allowing for creativity and innovation, a great opportunity to exercise worship gifts as a team member. Though not demographically growing, the community is churning, former older residents being replaced by young families (30s – 40s). This Pastor should have an affinity with this target group to maximize growth potential. He or she is expected to be familiar with (demonstrate) the kinds of relational leadership necessary to grow a church. You’ll develop ministries to reach out to and engage adults in this age group in leadership, mission, outreach, and small groups; serve as resource to Men’s ministry and share pastoral care for members of all ages. Work with youth (Junior and Senior High) and their adult leaders to develop and manage a vital and balanced ministry that shares God’s love through fun and engaging activities, significant learning opportunities and life impacting mission trips while creatively connecting the youth and their families to Christ through the congregation’s life and work.
