Regional Minister Search

Regional Minister Opportunity

The Christian Church Michigan Region seeks a Regional Minister to assist our transition from a centralized "hub" style of leadership to a shared network of Regional Office, Regional Elders and strong congregations.

We are looking for someone in good standing with their denomination who has strong leadership, relational and administrative skills, and with enough computer savvy to become proficient with CDM+ and the Suran System (Search and Call) software.  To apply, you must have completed an up to date search and call document with your current region.

We seek candidates with strong leadership, administrative, and relational skills, especially in six priority areas:

• A shared sense of spiritual community
• Oversight of Ministerial Search and Call
• Crisis intervention for pastors and congregations
• Support of camp and conference programs
• Support church vitality by sharing best practices regarding congregational spiritual life, oranizational and program development
• Annual fund and financial giving

Status of Search

The Search and Call Committee will present a regional minister candidate for consideration at the March 3, 2012 Regional Board Meeting in Lansing. If approved the board will be asked to call for a Regional Assembly, April 28, 2012, 10:00 AM - Noon at First Christian Church in Lansing.
