Chewelah United Church of Christ (UCC) is excited to recruit a pastor in an open and affirming congregation located in scenic Northeast Washington State. While honoring the spiritual traditions of this 140+ year-old congregation, Chewelah UCC is focused on service to God, our neighbors, community, and a safe, caring world and its environment. The numerous ministries of this church provide love and caring for the congregation; youth; food pantries and meals; housing for service groups e.g., AA, Scouts, Meditation groups, Cancer Support Group, Writers’ groups, BLM vigil, Women’s Marches, as well as “services for the unchurched”. A collaborative partner in an ecumenical “Faith Resources Group”, Chewelah UCC joins our neighbors in advocating and enacting “A Just World for All”.

This openly welcoming congregation seeks a pastor who is friendly; caring; effective with all ages; involved in community life; and a good communicator as well as Spiritual Guide. Members look forward to joyful, thought provoking, uplifting, and challenging sermons/messages.

Congregational learning with the recent pastor and during a pandemic has set goals of growing membership, especially among younger members and families; vibrant worship services including the creative use of technology and music; community outreach; justice and climate issues.

Referred to locally as “that Hope church”, Chewelah UCC invites your application and commitment to serve alongside us.
