The average attendance is 145 in a community of about 7000. They have 4 Elders, 5 Deacons, a Youth minister, and a Children’s Minister.  Here is what they say: “We are longing that the brother we find will have experience and strength for the community as well as the ability to help lead the local body to a closer walk with the King.  To provide spiritual direction to strengthen the believers. To be a Godly example to all. To challenge and motivate for stronger faith and deeds. To assist and offer direction for the Education Program. To assist and offer direction to the youth program. Develop/Mentor and help us draw the family closer to Christ.” Send resume and a brief summary of your expectations to Terry Greenway terry.greenway@twc.com
