Job Description: 

We are a Friends Church in a town of approximately 20,000 in Southwest Kansas, looking forward to celebrating our 100th anniversary in February 2015. Our average attendance is 35-45, but we know we have the potential to grow our congregation to much higher participation than that.

We are a “programmed” Friends (Quaker) meeting, so we are looking for a pastor with strong preaching skills.  A portion of each worship service is set aside for open worship in the Friends tradition – it is an important part of our service.

We seek a pastor who has a strong work ethic, is an effective preacher, and who will dedicate herself or himself to the vision and mission of making disciples of Christ.  Seminary degree is preferred.  If not, strong background in theology studies is desired.
Salary package:  $50,000, plus parsonage (three bedrooms with a finished basement).

Please email cover letter and resume (with references) to Dan Diepenbrock, Presiding Clerk at:  dhd@diepenbrockpa.com .  If available, send a video file of up to two recent sermons, or provide information where sermons can be accessed on a web site.
