I went to a church that is related to our church who is also searching for a pastor. They are smaller and much more diverse and could probably due with some help. I have offered to help behind the scenes somewhere - as long as its not with children or youth.
They were very quick to take my offer and I have already helped them go through a grant application for a summer student. I am hoping to get to sit in on a few meetings to give them an outsiders point of view - this will work well for both of us as I can do this with the understanding that I am a student so I can ask obvious questions without offending anyone and point out confusion again without offending. So I am looking forward to this and will see how it plays out.
I am still working in my role at my home church. I have to say I am concerned that the church is not going to continue in the vein they started in - the worship has already become dated in a short time and one of the rumoured offers to apply for the pastor's position is offered to someone who will not be able to continue the process that has been started. We will likely go backwards a bit of distance before we move forwards. I've also noted some of the younger more innovative people are gone.
I'll do my best on my end to keep us moving outwards and being salt and light!
