Our Church:

Our church is located in western Wisconsin near Viroqua. Our congregation size is around 85 to 90 people. Our average attendance for Sunday morning worship ranges from 40 to 60 people. We have shut-ins and elderly that are forced to stay home and watch live streams or listen to the radio broadcast because of health problems. We do not have the typical elder board but instead are governed by a church council. This council consists of a President, three Deacons (assist the Pastor), three trustees, a treasurer, and a secretary. Our Sunday school program takes place before the worship service and goes from September to May. Because our church is small it does not have a parsonage; We will assist in any way possible to help the incoming pastor to find a place to live.

 

Compensation and benefits: Salary $50,000 – $56,000, Workman Compensation Insurance, and Christian Health Sharing Medical Plan
