In the North Central Conference, we are looking for pastors and church planters with a deep love for both God and people, strong communication skills, ability to set vision and strategy, and fruitful ministry that helps new people come to Christ and grow to become full disciples of Jesus.
We are also looking for both experience leaders, as well as qualified people looking for their first ministry or training opportunities.
Here is some information about the Free Methodist denomination and our beliefs:
The Bible is foundational. When we are looking for answers it is where we start and finish.
Our understanding of the Bible includes:
a God who calls us to live a new, transformed life as we follow Jesus
a God who calls us to be agents of change in our world with biblical justice and mercy
a God who calls and gifts both men and women to all levels of leadership
We are connectional. We are connected in community to one another. The local church and pastor reports to, and is responsible to, the regional Conference, which in turn reports and is responsible to the national denomination. We submit to one another.
We have freedom in styles of worship as well as local church structure. The North Central Conference has churches in larger cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Des Moines, but also has small traditional rural churches, dinner churches, as well as Hispanic, Nepali, and Congolese congregations.
Open positions and application can be seen below, and if any of these seem to be a fit for you, get in touch us!
In the North Central Conference, we are committed to collaborative multiplication of disciples, leaders and churches. If you have a creative vision, align with our theological and missional perspectives we would love to have a conversation with you. We believe that God has a plan for us to reach new people in new places, and it is our conviction that God is calling others to His mission of birthing new things. If your vision and passions align with this calling, we encourage you to send us your resume so that we can explore this together.
We are often in process of launching new and creative ministry.
If you do not see an opening that seems to be a match for you, please feel free to send us an email indicating your calling and interests along with a resume. If we have something that seems to be a good fit we would be happy to have a conversation with you about the possibilities.
