Lifeway Bible Church, Waterbury, VT
This two year old mission recently lost their church planter. The small core group of 6-8 desperately needs a visionary leader to come take over this struggling mission before it dissolves. It is currently led by a lay couple who work for the GMBA. They are meeting in the basement of the local Grange, which is a very nice space to meet. They have this space for free for several more months before they have to begin paying for it. Waterbury is an affluent town in the crossroads of Vermont's tourist area. There is one other evangelical church in town and then up the road near Stowe there are three other evangelical works, one of which is also in the GMBA. There is very limited financial support from the local congregation, there is a small amount of support from a partnership association in North Carolina and if the pastoral candidate is qualified he can receive $1200 per month for up to two years from the North American Mission Board.

Associate Pastor/Church Planting Intern Needed

Faith Community Church, Barre, VT
This three year old church plant is already busy planting other churches in nearby towns. Averaging 100 in Sunday worship this church looks for young men who desire to plant a church in Vermont and invites them to come serve at their congregation for 12-24 months in an associate pastor role. They then spin that man off as a church plant to some community that needs a church. They commit 3% of their budget to help the new church get started. The candidate will need to raise his own salary, but the church assists with how to do this. The candidate normally serves in a bivocational situation so that he can meet people and learn to interact with Vermonters before trying to start a church for Vermonters. Some candidates will be eligible for $1200 per month in support from the North American Mission Board. Contact Terry Dorsett at terrydorsett@charter.net for more details.
