join our disciple making team

Our New McKendree United Methodist Church mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We live out our mission by loving God, loving people, and serving God’s people. We succeed in our calling through the cooperative work of our lay and pastoral church leadership, staff, and congregation. As part of the cooperative, our paid staff’s role is to recruit, train, and resource our church family members to discover and grow in their call to ministry.  

These positions require the ability to build multigenerational relationships, to adapt to both traditional and contemporary ministry cultures, and to strategically adapt and develop new ministries while staying focused on the mission. As a leader in church ministry they will be committed to growing in their trust in Christ, seeking the will of the Father in all they do, and constantly asking the Holy Spirit for guidance in these roles.
