The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is looking for experienced, engaging, and dynamic leaders to share Christ’s mission.
Here is our newest definition of what we believe a new worshiping community is. It is based on numerous conversations with ministry colleagues in evangelism and church growth, theology, worship, and education, and racial ethnic ministries. We have also incorporated comments from GAMC members and mid-council leaders. Our hope for this definition is that it will both provide clarity and inspiration for this 1001 new worshiping communities movement.
Presbyteries ministry commissions/committees play a vital role in assisting congregations in their search for new pastors. It is the responsibility of the liaison representative to guide, support and resource congregations during this transition period. By limiting the time a congregation is without pastoral leadership, the chance of loss morale and loss of membership are lessened. A knowledgeable liaison can make the way for an easy transition. This Tip Sheet provides a best practice process for calling new installed pastors.
Determining the “terms of call” is an important conversation between minister, congregation and presbytery. Prayerfully entering this part of the call process with a spirit of discernment, practicality and wisdom can set the tone for your future ministry together. This Tip Sheet provides a best practice approach to the “terms of call” conversation.
