  • Shrigley Evangelical Missionary Church (SEMC) is seeking a permanent part-time Pastor 

    SEMC is seeking a permanent part-time Pastor who has a passion for God’s word, and who aspires to lead our congregation of believers. SEMC is a small, rural church, located in the township of Melancthon, ON. 

    SEMC is a warm fellowship of worshipers who strive to ‘Connect with God, and Connect with others’, and a member in good standing with the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada (EMCC). Our leadership is currently caring for the church family as we search for our next pastor, following the retirement of our previous pastor after 16 years of loving service.

    The successful candidate will have an ambition to teach and communicate the gospel in Spirit and in Truth.  SEMC values a reverence for the Lord, scripture-based leadership, humility, and integrity.  A Pastor who shares these values is essential.

    A successful candidate will:

    • have a passion for the Word of God
    • have a B.Th. or equivalent (relevant undergraduate studies will be considered also)
    • be in agreement with evangelical theology in keeping with that of the Evangelical Missionary Church of Canada

    The Pastoral candidate will be credentialed, or able to be credentialed by the EMCC.  Both experienced and new pastors will be considered.
