Application Information: Judson Memorial Church of New York City is Seeking New Ministerial Leadership
Application deadline: November 15, 2022
Judson was founded in 1890 as a Baptist church and in the Baptist tradition, we value the idea of ‘soul competence’ - that each one of us is capable of developing our faith in a larger community - no creed need tie us down. In addition to our alignment with the American Baptist Churches USA, we are also aligned with the United Church of Christ and the Alliance of Baptists. Our membership is broader however, including people from those faith traditions as well as people who were raised in other faith traditions such as Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist as well as those who consider themselves agnostic.
Our Mission Statement reads: “Judson Memorial Church seeks to be a just, diverse, vibrant, and worshiping spiritual community through the pursuit of social justice, creative expression, and sacred exploration of its own Protestant church roots and the wisdom of other traditions.” Please learn more on our website page About Judson, and click here to download the Church Profile summary.
We are located on Washington Square South, in the heart of Greenwich Village of New York City.
Judson’s history includes a long engagement with a search for freedom and justice for all people rooted in Jesus’ commandment to “Love one another.” We celebrate the arts for the insight and freshness they bring to our understanding of life and our times. We welcome all to worship, to learn, and to come together at the table and share the meal - whether real or metaphorical.
Most of all, at this time, Judson seeks new leadership to join in a transformative time for our congregation. The past few years have been for Judson, as for so many churches and organizations, a time of challenge and change. We bade farewell to a beloved Senior Minister and find ourselves eager to look ahead in uncertain times to new possibilities, to new ideas, to new ways of strengthening our community and our mission. We seek to be an even more vibrant and diverse community.
Like many churches, we face challenges of finance, building maintenance and changing demographics. Nevertheless, we believe change, transformation and growth are not only vital, but eminently possible in a city, nation and world that need prophetic hope and a reminder of the deep and abiding love of our Creator.
