I thought that this was an interesting posting for an open pastor position--but I don't know if I would fit in at this church:
We have planted a Spirit Filled Church in beautiful Southern Oregon. We have anywhere from 20- 40 coming and just began a children's ministry (about 10) Looking for someone who is 'called and gifted as a Pastor', not wierd, has the Holy Ghost Fire, but not strange fire, and willing to be paid as it comes in.
You see, I feel 'called and gifted as a Pastor' but notice how they qualify that -- "not weird". How many weird pastors have you met in your lifetime? (I think I could identify one or two that I have met.) And how many weird pastors would admit to being weird and automatically eliminate themselves?
And then there is the matter of having the Holy Ghost fire--I am sealed and baptized and filled with the Spirit, but do I have the "fire"? And if I have the fire, hopefully it is not "strange fire". (Can anyone tell this Baptist pastor what they mean by "strange fire"?)
Anyway I thought some of you might find that ad enjoyable!
I am still sending out resumes, however I probably won't send one to that church. I am still considering taking a teaching position in California until a church might open up. I did receive a call yesterday from a charter school that needs an independent study teacher--they are planning on setting up a phone interview with me soon. Please pray for direction about this possibility--it would mean being in California while Karen is here in Colorado.
