Description
Who we are: At the Presbyterian Church of Kennett Square (PCKS) we desire for everyone in the community to “taste and see that the Lord is good!” (Psalm 34:8). We believe that God has called the people of PCKS, rooted in his love, to build His church, serve society, and steward creation with a focus in the Kennett Square community.
PCKS is a community of believers located in downtown Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, a diverse and thriving community located forty-five minutes outside of Philadelphia. Our most recent pastor, of fourteen years, left on good terms and was led by the Lord to take a call to lead a pastor residency program. Since April of 2023 we have been led through the EPC’s transitional church process by an EPC transitional pastor.
Job Summary: The pastor is called, along with the elders, to lead the church in fulfilling its vision and mission, through Sunday services, shepherding the elders and deacons, and administering the sacraments. More details on our vision can be found in our Vision 2024 document.
