Description
Pastor of Family and Worship: We are in search of a pastor to help new and existing people grow in their faith by fostering a healthy community within our church and to lead our worship teams. Other responsibilities include: preaching, teaching, counseling, recruiting, and being an assistant to the Senior Pastor.
Gibbsville Church: Gibbsville Church is a growing multi-generational church. Based on the Great Commandment and the Great Commission our mission is To Know God and Make Him Known. We strive to make our church both a home and a mission. A home where we love God, meet people’s needs, and challenge each other to grow spiritually and a mission where we reach new people by sharing our faith. Gibbsville church serves about 550 people and our worship attendance is around 350-400. Our current staff includes Senior Pastor, Youth Pastor, Director of Children’s Ministries, Director of Media, Pastor of Visitation, and Secretary. Since Covid-19 we have been growing. The increase of new families, both in person and online, has been a great blessing. We need to hire another full-time pastor to help these new people and our existing families stay connected to the gospel and each other.
Our Community: Gibbsville is a great place to raise a family. Gibbsville is located in the Bible Belt of Wisconsin. About 40% of the people in Gibbsville, Oostburg, Cedar Grove, and Hingham area attend church regularly compared to about 18% in the rest of the state. Gibbsville Church has a reputation of being a very friendly place. Our schools rank very high in the area and there is a wonderful sense of community. Within an hour, hopefully soon, you can travel to a Bucks or Packers game.
Our Worship: Gibbsville Church has a blended worship style. Our services start with contemporary songs and then transition to more traditional music. We've had part-time worship leaders in the past and now we need to hire a full-time pastor to bring consistency and leadership to our worship team.
