First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) of Kent, Ohio is Seeking a 3/4-Time Senior Pastor
First Christian Church of Kent is a welcoming, inclusive, and safe congregation—Open and Affirming and a Green Chalice church—committed to worship, outreach, and spiritual growth. For nearly 200 years, we've been a steady presence in the heart of one of Ohio's most vibrant college towns. Though our congregation is currently made up mostly of older, long-time members, we remain rooted in hospitality, community service, and intergenerational connection.
We're seeking a three-quarter-time (30 hours/week) Senior Pastor to partner with us in ministry. We recognize that reducing from a full-time position limits the scope of weekly responsibilities—and we fully support those boundaries. The congregation, staff, and lay leaders are deeply committed to partnering with our next pastor to discern and prioritize where those 30 hours of ministry can have the most impact.
We value Scripture-based worship, compassionate pastoral care, shared leadership, and a strong commitment to justice. We are blessed with strong ecumenical relationships and a supportive staff team, including an Associate Minister for Christian Education and Youth, a talented music team, and a professional office administrator.
Looking ahead, we are excited to grow in spirit, number, and diversity—especially by strengthening ties with younger generations, newcomers, and our broader community. We are also committed to expanding our justice work and building a sustainable, faithful future.
