Job Description:

The Central Appalachian Missionary Conference is seeking clergy and seminary students who feel called to serve in a local United Methodist Church, engaging in meaningful ministry rooted in personal growth, community vitality, and transformational discipleship.

This includes fostering spiritual maturity in themselves and their community, cultivating vibrant worship, nurturing relationships, and encouraging active outreach that transforms lives. This pastoral role is grounded in the fourfold ministry of Word, Sacrament, Order, and Service, as entrusted through ordination or licensure in The United Methodist Church and upheld in the Book of Discipline.
