Preaching Minister
Job Description
Yuma Christian Church, a non-denominational church, believing the Bible to be the infallible word of God, is actively searching for the man God has chosen to lead us into the future.
YCC is an existing, growing, and family oriented church in rural northeastern Colorado. Our loving and motivated congregation needs a dynamic visionary who will submit himself to God’s authority, align himself with the leadership of the elders, and join with us to fulfill God’s work in our community. While being a strong spiritual leader, his gifts should also include practical and relevant preaching, teaching, and pastoral guidance.
The Preaching Minister understands that this Job Description is under the oversite of the Board of Elders of Yuma Christian Church. The way this scope of work is accomplished should be communicated and agreeable with the Board of Elders. The Preaching Minister understands that ministry demands a lot of time and his congregation needs to know when he is available to minister to the various needs of the congregation. This schedule must be communicated to the Board of Elders.
