Calling a Settled Pastor

Search Committee

The Committee

St. Paul United Church of Christ is calling for a new Senior Pastor and several members of the congregation are serving on this Search Committee. Melanie Erb and Rollie Wellington are the co-chairs of the committee. Also serving on the Search Committee are Tom Hunter, Nancy Newland, Lori Schroer, Tom Shaw, and Ashley Vaughn.

The Call

A first step is to establish a one page Church Profile that is posted on the United Church of Christ Ministry Opportunities WEB page. You may read that one page document at: https://oppsearch.ucc.org/web/fastdetails.aspxid=5189&KeepThis=false&TB_iframe=true&height=827&width=960

A longer and more thorough document was also developed to provide a comprehensive insight into the congregation and ministry of St. Paul United Church of Christ in Wapakoneta, Ohio. This 41 page document is available in a PDF form and you may access the Church Profile here: https://opportunities.ucc.org/CustomerFTP/5189/Attachments/Wapakakoneta,%20St.%20Paul%202023.pdf

Serving as Pastor During the Search

Reverend Mark Bishop answered the call to serve as our Interim Pastor as we call for a new Senior Pastor. St. Paul UCC is also fortunate to have a ministerial intern who started his studies under the guidance of Reverend Becky Sunday and has continued his studies with our Interim Pastor Reverend Mark Bishop.
