Their work will leave fingerprints on us for years to come. We are looking for a student who is interested in or open to a small church ministry, preferably in New England. Our church is undergoing a surprising revitalization recently, so we may be especially well-suited for a student who is interested in revitalization. The student should be open to a variety of experiences, since in all small organizations (and especially in small churches) pastors wear a variety of hats.

We have experienced surprising growth since the COVID-19 pandemic. Our children’s ministry is thriving, we just re-started a middle school youth group, and our members are engaging in and starting various discipleship groups.
