PASTOR. Emmaus Way Church, Durham, NC, (emmausway.net)—an open and affirming, ecumenical community with laity from diverse theological backgrounds—seeks a pastor (approximately 20-25 hrs/wk) to enliven our existing ministry among children and youth. Founded in 2005, Emmaus Way has been perpetually shaped by intentional dialogue among disparate voices seeking fresh, liberating ways into God’s redemptive work. Recent years have substantially grown the presence of new parents and children in that conversation, such that young people (birth to teen) now comprise one-third of our congregation. Because we understand children as whole people rather than incomplete adults, we find ourselves amidst energizing tension around where their growing presence reshapes our shared efforts to understand and be about the Kingdom of God. We deeply desire a pastor who will lead us creatively into that tension, as we continue fostering intergenerational, gospel-shaped community that integrates and empowers children and adults.
