Pastor - Montana
Listed: 04-20-2022
Employer: The Havre and Chinook Presbyterian Churches - Montana | (406) 357-8056
Location: Montana
The congregations of the Havre and Chinook Presbyterian Churches, in north central Montana, find a seminary trained leader for our vacated pulpits. Our two Presbyterian congregations located 20 miles apart are working with a yoked Presbyterian/Methodist congregation (for 50 years) in another community (Harlem) and the United Methodist and American Lutheran churches in Chinook to create a ‘new parish model.’
This new model will allow us to build and share a leadership team of seminary trained leaders and certified laypersons. We are currently seeking a seminary trained pastor to lead or work with other seminary trained/certified lay individuals as this new ‘parish’ develops. There is a possibility to have housing included as well as additional compensation for ‘time in position’ as part of the compensation package. The position will require flexibility, creativity and organizing skills as we move forward.
This leadership position might also appeal to a candidate who wishes to move away from the toils of urban living. We make no secret our area is rural, yet within our 40-mile radius area there is a state university and a regional hospital in Havre and all three communities have stand-alone medical clinics and school systems that enjoy public support.
A candidate would find our area is blessed with natural beauty and as well as a cost of living significantly lower than most urban areas. The university, the regional hospital, local school systems and the Fort Belknap Reservation at nearby Harlem provide professional employment opportunities for spouses or other family members. Up to date internet capabilities make working remotely also a possibility.
For information about our area, details about the congregations and the new ‘parish model,’ please contact Steve Edwards:
