The Presbyterian Church (USA) in McMinnville, Tennessee (Middle Tennessee Presbytery, Living Waters Synod), is seeking a pastor. Having been served by Cumberland Presbyterian ministers in the past, the congregation would welcome a C P pastor.
We would look to our Full-time, Part-time, or Bi-vocational pastor to devote time to the primary responsibility of providing a traditional Biblically based preaching and worship service on Sunday and to occasionally teach a Sunday school class. Being our head of staff, we will need you to share with our session in the pastoral care of persons and families in crisis and those experiencing significant life events, while helping us develop and implement a God given vision which will lead to spiritual and numerical growth. We need you to engage with us in three primary outreach missions and take part in a few small scale service outreach activities for churchless and homeless in our community. This position includes administering sacraments of communion, baptisms, and when asked, officiate at weddings and funerals, moderating the session, communicating effectively with the congregation through in-person contact, phone, text, or email, and our monthly newsletter, and being proactive in bonds of caring with members. Participation in the local Ministerial Association and the Community Thanksgiving service will be requested. To ensure the average weekly call hours is honored and is not exceeded by the encroachment of ever increasing demands on the minister’s time and energy, our session will monitor the maintenance of healthy work boundaries as mutually established by the pastor and session. Together, we will work to guard our pastor’s vacation time and personal leave requests. Minimum Effective Salary $53,680 and housing allowance.
