General Presbyter position description

General

The need for a General Presbyter (GP) is a response to the reality that while the spiritual needs in our world are greater, we have fewer human resources. At the same time, we are endowed with significant funds which must be used in mission. The intent is for a GP to reduce the workload of ministers and pastors with the hope that they will be able to spend more time actively discerning new ministry opportunities.

Terms

Half time on employment agreement. First incumbent would be hired for two years to allow the position to be established.
A member of the constituent roll with active participation in the court and its committees.
A stipend significantly above the minimum in order to reflect the qualifications and experience, and a housing allowance which reflects their community.
Residence in Essex-Kent preferred but not required. Able to commute from a reasonable distance.
Mileage to be negotiated, to reflect their place of residence.
A generous budget for resources and expenses.

Qualifications

Several years experience in ministry
Ordained in the PCC as a teaching elder.

Responsibilities

To work in confidence with each minister and pastor to ensure they are caring for their mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
