FCC Cheshire Associate Minister

We seek an Associate Minister to join us in our vision to grow our congregation and our impact in the broader community. We are an active, caring, and friendly congregation who approaches our ministries from a welcoming and inclusive lens. A multigenerational congregation, we wish to open our doors wider, bringing in new visitors and members, while sustaining and growing the deep and valued relationships that exist. A part of growth requires that we open our minds and hearts to new ideas for how we live the word of God and deepen our faith in Christ. We want to further grow our connections with our local and regional communities, including other faith groups. We seek to become a hub for the community, offering new opportunities for involvement with our congregation and our ministries as well as increasing use of our indoor and outdoor spaces.

We are excited to welcome an Associate minister to go on this journey with us. We desire an Associate Minister who will work closely with the Senior Minister to preserve the best of our worship experiences and church traditions and also create new ones. We seek someone who values our commitment to being an open and affirming church, helping us to expand our welcome and invitation for others to find their place at First Church. We need an Associate Minister who envisions new approaches to attract and engage young people, recognizing and valuing their ways of communicating, their perspectives on faith and spirituality, and their busy lives. We would like our Associate Minister to be excited to be a representative of First Church in Cheshire and enjoy being active in community events.
