Pastoral Positions Vacant (or wanted) in the Illawarra
Family Resource Worker (part-time) – Gerringong:
Gerringong Uniting Church is a vibrant, medium sized church with a heart for sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with our town & our world. We are biblically-based, Christ-centred & Spirit-filled, and have young families as a mission priority.
We are seeking a resource person who can grow the faith of young families connected to our church. This person will be an equipper, discipler, empowerer, enabler and encourager. Gift development will be a key part of the role.
We seek someone who will not ‘do’ ministry for us, but rather who will grow mature disciples of Christ who can minister themselves. Hours and type of interaction will be flexible (min. 16hrs p/w), with the successful applicant focusing on people not programs.
Please contact Rev. Peter Chapman on 4234 1044 or email for more information.
