Solo Pastor

Marissa Presbyterian Church is a 150 yr. old church with a strong mature Christian membership of 85. We are seeking a senior pastor to lead us in setting specific long-term goals in Numerical and Spiritual growth, Reaching Families and Youth and Community Service. In addition to vision casting we are looking for a pastor who can lead in executing and realizing that vision while feeding the congregation with sound biblical preaching and teaching. Visiting families and shut-ins, helping to keep everyone connected, and reaching youth and young families in our target area are both important elements of growing the Lord’s church. We believe that a winsome man with a desire to live out his walk with the Lord and reach others for Christ can help us achieve this. He should respect tradition but be willing to try new ideas and encourage. Change when needed. While being willing to work with other churches and ministries in the community, he must not compromise his reformed, biblical convictions.
