Getting The Word Out - Senior Pastor Vacancy
 

We would like to encourage alumni of TUC to help us spread the word about our Senior Pastor vacancy. We have already posted on various websites and we will be using some print media publications as well, but we REALLY NEED YOUR HELP 
Please feel free to share the announcement below with friends and family, to forward it directly to anyone you know who you think would be a suitable candidate – post it on your blog – ask your home church to post it – and any other creative ways you can think of to spread the word.

Tokyo Union Church is seeking a Senior Pastor to provide pastoral leadership, be the primary source of preaching and in conjunction with the Associate Pastor provide pastoral care, spiritual nurture and counseling for the congregation.


A Master of Divinity (M.Div) or similar degree, international experience, as well as experience in a large multi-staff position are all highly desirable. Candidates should be gifted administratively and organizationally. Fluency in English is a requirement, fluency in another East Asian language would be an asset.

Expressions of interest should be addressed to inquiries@tokyounion.org. A congregational profile, the required format for applications, and other documentation will be provided.

Preference will be given to those applicants who apply by November 30th 2012 and applications received after January 15th 2013 will not be considered by the search committee. As we will be processing applications as they are received we would encourage applicants to apply as early as possible.
