CCSM is ready to evolve. To guide us in doing that we are looking for a senior minister who is dynamic, collaborative, and driven.
Dynamic – in words, actions, and presence to lead and get others to believe in the Senior Minister’s vision for CCSM. From sermons that spur action or reflection to providing pastoral care for those in need, we’re looking for our leader to be that fount of inspiration.
Collaborative – can recognize the strengths of others and place their trust in those folks to execute their vision for CCSM’s next chapter.
Driven – ready to grow the congregation, to help us to become younger and to reach those in our diverse community who know they want a progressive and open-minded spiritual home to find one with us.
