Church Leadership Connection
Not just a job ...
As Presbyterians, we believe
that those that are called to youth ministry and congregations
are brought together through a call from God.
It is a relationship established not primarily for the benefit
of one or both of the parties but for the purpose of service
in the ministry of Jesus Christ. God has endowed both the leader
and the people with particular gifts and experiences that, when
brought together, provide the resources for effective ministry.
We believe that God uses committees,
papers, procedures, and our polity to call persons to positions
of leadership. You will fill out forms, use the latest technology
in an Internet-based matching system, and perhaps prospective
churches will meet you via videotape or conference call, and
then in person.
All of these are ways
to introduce youth leaders to opportunities with matching gifts
and interests. This is just the starting point for a call process.
No paper or electronic method can replace the discernment process
through which youth leaders consider a wide variety of ministry
opportunities; and through which Search Committees pray for
God's guidance in calling individuals to positions of leadership.
