About First Union Church:

Cedarville First Union is a church that desires to be governed by the leading of the

Holy Spirit in accordance with the Scriptures. We have elders who are growing to

be increasingly involved in the teaching and care of the congregation. We also

have a board that includes the elders (males only), deacons/deaconesses, and some

key committee representatives. We are a congregationally organized church, but

we don't pause to vote on everything. Our board provides one layer of leadership,

and the elders are key. Our pastor is our lead elder. We are very missions minded

both financially and prayerfully. Speaking of prayer, we believe prayer to be a key

part of our faith. We have spent much time praying for the pastor we have not yet

met. We are a family-oriented church who believes that everyone professing faith

in God through Christ is part of the church family. We love to incorporate all ages

and abilities into our corporate worship. Our facility can seat 300.

Candidates must have leadership experience, a minimum of a bachelor's degree, and either a bachelor's or master's in a ministry related field. Master's level education is preferred.
