Glenview Community Church, Glenview, Illinois, seeks to hire a Pastoral Resident.

As a Pastoral Resident at Glenview Community Church in Glenview, Illinois, you will:

• Be a full-time pastor, participating in all aspects of the life of Glenview Community Church which provides you the experience of working within the staff of a large congregation.
• Gain experience in core areas of pastoral work: Worship, Faith Formation, Pastoral Care, Transformational Leadership, Social Justice, and Professional Development.
• Learn the basics of church management: worship planning and leadership, staff management, church finances and stewardship, all with the support and mentorship of the Senior Minister of Glenview Community Church.
• Respond to the Spirit’s movement. Personal spiritual development is supported by the program. So is participation in a Clergy Peer Group.

We are looking for a candidate who has discerned a call to parish ministry, has a passion for God’s justice, a heart for Jesus’ way of compassion, and an openness to the Holy Spirit. Excellent candidates have or will have graduated with an M.Div. degree within the last two years, be Members in Discernment in the United Church of Christ (UCC) or equivalent in another denomination, be on track to be ordained during the first year of the residency, and be able to commit to serve from August 2025-June 2027.

Candidates from other denominations in full communion (or similar relationship) with the UCC may also be considered provided they hold equivalent status and, if accepted, will be ordained as a pastor for this position.
