Our congregation is looking for a Part-Time Pastor with patience and the ability to provide stability while we seek a new settled pastor. We are searching for meaning and purpose in why the First Congregational Church of Haverhill exists. This position would be 25 hours per week, with housing allowance or parsonage available. 

We seek a settled pastor to serve the pastoral needs of our church and congregation as we continue to do the work that God calls us to do, in a part time position. The time required may be mutually modified, as our new settled pastor inspires the congregation by attracting new members.

We seek a well-rounded, energetic pastor who is caring, sensitive, socially engaging, and has good communication skills. The part-time dynamics of the settled position also favor a pastor who has good time management skills. Computer proficiency skills would help the pastor better interact with our part time Administrative Assistant.

We believe God is calling us to be faithful, loving, accepting, generous, open, and thoughtful followers of Christ. We hope to grow, to continue to build community, to share our faith and to reach out beyond our walls to share what we have and who we are. We believe God is calling us to be present day disciples (and we want to learn how to do this today). We are a welcoming community that is open minded, accepting, respectful, and likes to be of service doing mission activities together. We are resilient, kind, caring and steadfast. We are dedicated to justice as expressed through our broadly inclusive Open and Affirming statement. We are hardworking and talented. We like to have fun. We laugh easily. We find strength in being a small UCC church.

The Congregational Church of North Barnstead, UCC (CCNB) is looking for you. We are especially interested if you are:

• Energized by a vital congregation and looking to help generate an everexpanding circle of pastoral-congregational life and impact.

• Eager to be in community with people who are hungry to understand the guidance the Holy Scriptures give us TODAY for enlivening our relationship with God and building The Beloved Community.

• Hopeful of finding a Church that is flexible with and supportive of its Pastor.

• Open to finding effective ways in which the talents of the Pastor & Congregants can be channeled.

• Talented in four areas of excellence from The Marks of Faithful and Effective Authorized Ministry:

1. Building transformational leadership skills,

2. Exhibiting a Spiritual Foundation and Ongoing Spiritual Practice,

3. Caring for All Creation,

4. Engaging Sacred Stories and Traditions.

Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ, a Just Peace, ONA and Anti-Racism Church,

has a long history of significant pastoral leadership joining with strong lay leadership to “be the

church” in a beautiful region of New Hampshire. Lively worship, great music, expansive

mission, and many educational opportunities have positioned the church well for a bright future.

Like other churches, the pandemic years were challenging as many people developed new habits

and routines. We have responded, however, not with dejection but by enhancing our

infrastructure to share hybrid worship services to a wider audience, to create timely outreach

efforts that meet people’s immediate needs, and to provide leadership for new regional youth and

Confirmation programs. We are now joyfully beginning our search for a full-time pastor who has

a proven record of collaboration and innovation - and who will journey with us in sharing our

love of God and neighbor with the world.

Our vision is that we adjust to the times and changes in our world by continuing to reach out to our community through music, service, and mission. We are seeking a faith-filled, creative person who will journey and lead us in adjusting to the changing times; a vibrant and energetic person that inspires us to think outside the box.  With the help of our settled pastor, we anticipate needing to develop a plan to be more visible in the Lakes Region. We know this may be attained in a variety of ways including social media, multigenerational and social service events in our building and within the Lakes Region. 

We seek a part time Interim to provide services such as preaching. Conducting funerals and weddings. Someone with an attention to the needy and elderly, pastoral care and bible study. Someone with good communication skills, a caring manner, a vision for expansion, reaching out & teaching.

We are an Open &Affirming church and one of the first to be recognized as a Racial Justice Church in the New Hampshire UCC Conference. However, we consider this more of a first step. We engage in a wide range of activities that aim to support and nurture the people of the congregation and reach out to the wider community while working closely with the church’s general leadership to set goals and make plans. Our church is made up predominantly of seniors, and we hope to attract the younger generation as we move forward. We are focused on living and passing along to others the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We believe that we are a proactive congregation and need a leader who can help us to continue moving forward spreading the word and reaching out to those in need whether they are next door, within our state, nationally or worldwide. During the onset of COVID we started holding services on Zoom and now continue its use in an effort to reach those who are unable to attend in person because of illness or living far away. We are a small church with a big heart.

We need someone who can provide a sense of stability, as we have been using supply pastors for over a year. We would like our pastor to be visible in the community and help us raise the profile of our church in the community.  We are still experiencing grief over the death of our previous pastor and need our new pastor to help us with this.

We would like someone of strong faith and personal warmth. Because this is a part-time position, we need someone who is organized, can establish goals, and has good time management skills. We are looking for someone who can ask for assistance and guidance from the Congregation so that we all share in ministry and outreach.
