Minister Vacancy (Bay of Plenty)
St Stephen's Church Reporoa/Rerewhakaaitu is a co-operating Presbyterian / Anglican parish situated in Reporoa Village, BOP. We are a group from many different walks of life, who live in the same community and want to worship God believing that the bible is the inspired Word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again and is now seated at God's right hand in heaven.
We are currently without a minister and are loosely following a locally shared ministry format. From within our congregation we have provided over half the weekly services as well as having ministers / pastors from other churches providing some sermons and communion. Whilst this format has been more than adequate for us as a congregation we feel that we are not catering well enough for the pastoral needs of our community, hence this vacancy.
Hours are flexible up to 3 days per week and would mainly involve pastoral work within our rural community. We would be happy to help make up a full time position with another church. Formal training would be an advantage.
