Description of Church & Job Description:

White Mills Christian Church is a thriving congregation that is located in White Mills, Kentucky which is about 50 miles south of Louisville, KY. Established in 1860, the congregation has a strong community presence. The church offers two services on Sunday morning along with Sunday school programs. Average Sunday morning attendance is 175. Youth attendance remains strong for Sunday School and mid-week ROC programs among youth of all ages. Additionally, the Church is located next door to White Mills Christian Camp which it supports.

The congregation is actively raising funds for a new sanctuary that will have twice the seating capacity. Plans are to construct this new addition within the next two years.

Part of the reason the congregation is seeking to add an associate minister position is that attendance is expected to increase once the new building is complete. Also, the church wants to make sure that we have enough staff in place to properly minister to new families and attendees.

White Mills Christian Church has one full time minister, Tim Dennis, and two part time youth and children’s workers. Tim Dennis has been serving now for well over 30 years and continues to do a fine job preaching and ministering to people. He is excited about the opportunity to have another full time minister working with him to meet the many needs of a growing congregation. He has said that unfortunately he will not be able to preach forever and if we found the right person then they could possibly step into this role in the future. The search committee feels that this is a great opportunity to provide a smooth transition when this time may come (although not a requirement for this position) and they continue to pray for God’s wisdom and direction.

We would ask that you too pray for God’s leading and if you are interested please read the attached qualifications along with the general duties and then send in a resume. Phone calls are most welcome to answer additional questions and to get an even better sense of the needs. Thank you for your willingness to serve our Lord and we look forward to hearing from you.

Working for the Lord,
