Lethbridge, Alberta -Do the words “Circle of Ministry” peak your interest? Do the phrases “Emerging Spirit”, “Progressive Christianity”, inclusive language”, “cutting edge discussion groups’ or ‘passion for social justice’, ‘contemporary & traditional services’ find you wanting to join in? Then perhaps McKillop United Church is the church for you. We are presently looking for a full time ordained minister to be part of our Team Ministry within our ‘Circle of Ministry’. Our Circle of Ministry eliminates the commonly accepted hierarchical ranking of people and replaces it with the concept of equivalent partners working with each other and authority shared with our whole community of faith. We are a diverse congregation ministering to youth & elderly alike, families & children, the poor & middle class, those with life challenges and persons of a different sexual orientation. Sunday worship involves two services, traditional and contemporary.

We are a vibrant church consisting of 662 families, with approximately 350 actively involved. We offer programs for adult spiritual growth, education, music and programs for children and youth. A more comprehensive profile can be found on our website www.mckillopunited.ca where you will find our JNAC report and current activities.

This position will be available as of July 1, 2008 due to the retirement of one of our current team ministers. Resumes may be sent in confidence to Mr. Harold Schroeder, corresponding secretary, 123 Algonquin Rd. S, Lethbridge, AB T1K 5B3 or by e-mail to Schroederh@shaw.ca. or McKillop United Church, Attention Search Committee, 2329 – 15 Ave. S. Lethbridge, AB, T1K 0X5
