Invitation to Serve - We are searching for a person with integrity who leads a spiritual life. Someone who can guide God’s followers to continue developing a healthy, thriving, and active church while maintaining community. Lischey’s members are looking for someone with ideas on how to create change and grow its congregation while maintaining the intimacy that the members here find important. We feel it is important to have someone that participates and promotes mission and outreach in our surrounding community. The person whom God sends us should have the abilities and willingness to be involved in youth education and children’s ministry. Although not required, experience would be helpful especially in the areas of providing counseling and spiritual support for the elderly and those who may need help dealing with a loss. We would hope that our new pastor would enjoy challenges of new experience, change, and adapts well to new and different settings. We pray that God sends our congregation someone who will not only preach His word, but someone who will educate us and challenge us to practice God’s word, but also educate and challenge us in our everyday lives.
