In the North Central Conference, we are looking for pastors and church planters with a deep love for both God and people, strong communication skills, the ability to set vision and strategy, and a fruitful ministry that helps new people come to Christ and grow to become full disciples of Jesus.
We are looking for both experienced leaders as well as qualified people looking for their first ministry or training opportunities.
Here is some information about the Free Methodist denomination and our beliefs:
The Bible is foundational. When we are looking for answers it is where we start and finish.
Our understanding of the Bible includes:
a God who calls us to live a new, transformed life as we follow Jesus
a God who calls us to be agents of change in our world with biblical justice and mercy
a God who calls and gifts both men and women to all levels of leadership
We are connectional. We are connected in regional districts for support and collaboration. The local church and pastor reports to, and is also responsible to, the regional Conference, which in turn reports to and is responsible to the national denomination. We submit to one another.
We have freedom in styles of worship as well as local church structure. The North Central Conference has churches in larger cities like Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, and Des Moines, but also has small traditional rural churches, dinner churches, as well as Hispanic, Nepali, and Congolese congregations.
Open positions and applications can be seen below. If any of these seem to be a fit for you, please get in touch with us! office@nccfmc.org
In the North Central Conference, we are committed to collaborative multiplication of disciples, leaders, and churches. If you have a creative vision, and align with our theological and missional perspectives, we would love to have a conversation with you. We believe that God has a plan for us to reach new people in new places, and it is our conviction that God is calling others to His mission of birthing new things. If your vision and passions align with this calling, we encourage you to send us your resume so that we can explore this together. We currently have properties in several strategic locations waiting for the right leader to plant a new work.
We are often in the process of launching new and creative ministries. If you have a vision for work within our North Central region, we would love to hear it and explore the possibilities.
If you do not see an opening that seems to be a match for you, please feel free to send us an email indicating your calling and interests, along with a resume. If we have something that seems to be a good fit, we would be happy to have a conversation with you about the possibilities.
