Countryside Community Church - Joy Luke Club

While this post isn’t about Luke, per se, it will surely be of interest to Countrysiders who are studying Luke: As of Friday we have officially begun to advertise the Associate Pastor position to the public!  You can view Countryside’s church Profile by clicking the badge on the right-hand corner of our home page (Special thanks go to David Day for modifying our home page so quickly!).  It’s quite an inspiring document.  Our search committee has done a great job with it!

Below is the blurb that will be running in the “UCC Employment Opportunities” within a couple weeks.  You may find it a bit wordy, but that’s the style of most of the entries there, as Search Committees strive to pack as much info as possible in very little space:

Dynamic, theologically progressive congregation that values creativity in worship and its strong adult, youth, children, music, and small group ministries seeks an AP to join our SP, Dr. Eric Elnes, in inspiring and challenging our congregation into greater spiritual growth and discipleship.  We are exploring the growing edge of the emerging Christian faith and seek an energetic AP with a deep appreciation for both tradition and innovation to join us on our journey.  See our profile at http://www.countrysideucc.org.
