COATES STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH is currently seeking a full time Pastor of the Word and Sacrament.
Our Church is looking for an energetic leader, who is a good communicator, with a loving spirit. We appreciate a sermon that is spoken from the heart and not read from text. We would like our minister to have a strong knowledge of scripture led by the Holy Spirit and with a message that is relatable to our lives. We expect our new Pastor to lead congregational worship services and officiate communion service as scheduled. They will be expected to visit homebound and hospitalized members and provide communion service when appropriate. Community outreach and support is a big part of our church’s mission and the Pastor will be expected to be involved with the Ministerial Alliance. This association will help the Pastor understand the needs of our community and how we as the church can better serve and improve our involvement.
Please remember the Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) in your prayers as they continue the search for a new Pastor for CSPC.
God of grace and wisdom, Bestow those gifts upon us this night. Grant us patience, as we wait for the work of your spirit. Make us humble, that we may hear your voice louder than our own. Make us quiet, as you say in a sacred whisper the names of those you would have lead your church.
Most of all, O God, remind us that the task before us is holy one. A hard one. A faithful one. For we are members of the body of Christ seeking to be your church in the world. Amen.
