EMPLOYMENT
ST. JOHN’S EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH, BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS—A thriving church in central Illinois has open- ings for these full-time staff positions:
PASTOR FOR FAMILY MINISTRIES AND MISSIONS: As an ordained pastor in the ELCA, the successful applicant will provide vision and leadership for two vital ministry areas: leading and serving collaboratively with the Family Ministry staff members as well as heading the Local and Global Mission Teams. This pas- tor will also serve as a teacher and preacher of God’s Word, and provide leadership to the con- gregation in collaboration with the other pastors.
WORSHIP LEADER FOR CONTEMPO- RARY WORSHIP SERVICE: The Worship Leader is responsible for planning, organiz- ing, and implementing all aspects of three con- temporary worship services. This will include working with a large number of congregational members who serve as vocalists, instrumen- talists, and lay worship leaders. The Worship Leader is expected to actively lead worship both from a musical and a praise perspective.
THE CONTEXT: St. John’s, an ELCA con- gregation of 2,500 members with an average worship attendance of 720 per weekend, serves a community (population: 125,000) of above- average income with stable large businesses and universities. Ministries are experiencing growth under the leadership of two new pas- tors and financial giving is strong. A building expansion was recently completed and future construction is anticipated to accommodate the growing congregation. The ministries are well served by successful ministry teams and a church staff of 39 (14 full time, 25 part time).
Additional information about these posi- tions and the church may be found at www.
