Our Ministry Needs

We are seeking the appointment of an ordained minister (full time equivalent) for an initial term of 5 years. This could include a shared ministry option between a couple or ministry team (two people), at least one of whom will be ordained.

The parish has elected the Presbyterian Church as Church of oversight. For more information or expressions of interest, please contact the Settlement Board Convenor, Rev Nathan Parry, by email at minister@IBPC.org.nz

We want to be a Church family that:

· Reflects and is part of the communities in which we live;

· Is welcoming, caring and inclusive of all; and

· Is alive, vibrant and relevant.

We are looking for a Minister with passion and energy to help us:

· Grow our ministry with young people and families; and

· Discover and develop our own ministries as individuals and a family of God.

We are a congregation of people who:

• Are inclusive of all and accepting of diversity

• Value a warm, friendly, welcoming environment

• Are seeking to actively grow our membership, particularly of people 45 years and under

• Require a ministry that is responsive to all age groups

• Value and seek to further broaden our connection with the community

• Are responsive to different community and mission initiatives

• Enjoy interacting as part of many different groups using our facilities as part of our community outreach

• Have a commitment to pastoral care

• Undertake lay participation in leading worship

• Appreciate a mixture of traditional and contemporary approaches to worship and fellowship

• Want an active role in achieving a suitable ministerial appointment

We consider it critical that the minister/s bring passion and energy and are:

• Able to engage and build relationships with children, youth and families

• Able to recognise and encourage the skills and gifts of others in order to lead and motivate other members of the ministry team

• Ordained and able to act as a guide to a variety of theological perspectives and provide spiritual leadership in the parish

• Accepting of the challenge of undertaking a variety of approaches to worship

• Committed to working within a uniting parish and with the Parish Council and its committees to achieve the Parish mission

• Have pastoral skills that enable them to form relationships across all age groups and with a diverse group of people

• Able to work effectively as part of a team including a part time (30 hour/wk) parish administrator and a part time family work co-ordinator
