FL: The Saint Augustine church is seeking a minister to work alongside the congregation. I’ll just post what they sent: “We are looking for a minister who dedicates significant time to deep study of God’s word and then uses their trained ability to effectively explain and convey the meanings of scripture. We do not have the expectation that a minister is to be a jack of all trades related to all works of the church. While we would certainly not discourage any additional relevant works in which there may be ability and desire, the core thrust of this role would be a subject matter expert in study, teaching, and guiding us into a richer knowledge of God’s word. We desire to grow closer to Christ, to be more individually active, to grow closer as a spiritual family, and to understand the Bible and its instruction more deeply. Thus, we are seeking a minister who enjoys and is skilled at digging and struggling through both the basics and the complex aspects of Biblical text and can help us understand and apply God’s word. Responsibilities: Our general expectations of time spent in a typical week will be as follows: Lesson Preparation/Teaching – 35% Study – 50% Visitation – 10% Miscellaneous – 5% Desired Experience: • Minimum 5 years (at least 2 years consecutively with a congregation) of hands-on experience working within congregation as a minister • Experience in guiding class thought and discussion/questions • Formal training in how to properly study and determine scriptural meanings and connections • Formal training in sermon methodology (expository, textual, topical) preparation and delivery • Must be completely comfortable with technology (computers, internet, mobile) both for communication and study • Comfortable on Livestream camera during classes and sermons.”  Please send updated resume and references to: staugcoc@gmail.com.
