Formation Pastor

Formation Pastor Hickory, NC 28601 From $70,000 a year - Full-time From $70,000 a year - Full-time Founded in 1869, Corinth Reformed Church is a 2,000 member Christ-centered, multi-generational church committed to proclaiming and worshiping Jesus as Lord by growing in faith, extending hope, and serving in love. Our leadership and much of our church identify as evangelical, conservative, or traditional. We are firmly rooted in the truths of Scripture and guided by the Reformed tradition as expressed in the Heidelberg Catechism. We hold unswervingly to the core doctrines of the Christian faith, while maintaining a spirit of charity in non-essential matters. As a demonstration of our emphasis on unity over division, we maintain an historical connection to the United Church of Christ (UCC). We express our unity in Christ in our three distinct Sunday worship services - traditional, blended, and contemporary - all centered on the same Scripture each week and supported by a collaborative pastoral team. Our mission is further lived out through a wide range of discipleship and formation opportunities across all ages on Sundays and throughout the week. Marked out by sprawling grounds and beautiful modern Gothic revival sanctuary, our eighteen-acre campus is situated near the very heart of Hickory, North Carolina, a rapidly growing city an hour northwest of Charlotte, and southeast of Boone.
