Cornerstone Community Church of Lansingburgh
Seeking 1/2-3/4 time Solo Pastor

A Presbyterian and United Methodist Congregation located in Lansingburgh, the northernmost section of the City of Troy, NY

Cornerstone Community Church is a small but committed, enthusiastic and music-loving congregation made up of
Presbyterians and Methodists, having come together for decades as neighbors and friends, and formally joining in 2008 as a union congregation. In 2019,
Cornerstone welcomed new members and an Interim Pastor with the merger of the Rensselaer Presbyterian Church.


Our Vision:
Serving Christ and Community
Together


We see the last word of our vision,
Serving Christ and Community

Together, as being central to our future.Of great importance, of course, is for us to continue to serve our existing congregation with worship and pastoral care.
However, given the trends in mainstream worship, we know that if we remain as we are, we are likely to gradually expire, and our size (under 100 members) and resources preclude us from calling a full-time pastor. Through our many discussions, we have come to realize that as important as our missions to the community are, we are not working together with the community in an effective way. We need to meet with and seek partnerships with other community organizations to collaborate and to find opportunities for mutual support. As an inclusive congregation, we believe in the worth and dignity of all God s beloved children and want to extend that love and welcome more effectively within and beyond our doors.


Therefore, our preference is to find someone who will lead us in worship and member care, but who is also called to and gifted in working with community groups. We believe this combination can help us move into the future God has for us.


We envision our pastor working with us for 3-5 years, hopefully longer, as together we live into the next season of ministry. A team of our members will assist in developing


partnerships to meet needs and serve our community Together!


Compensation & Housing:

We have a nicely appointed manse/parsonage within walking distance of the church to provide housing in this very difficult market.


We are offering a base salary in the $25k to $38k range, with benefits customized to meet the needs of the pastor.

Interested persons should send the following no later than 4/30/23:


Resume
Statement of Faith
Letter of Interest, including a description of the ministry setting to which you believe

God is calling you and any specific mission experience that you have.

We anticipate the effective start date will be September 1, 2023
