Location:
Prospect Heights, IL
Description:
Olive Tree Congregation (OTC) is a growing messianic congregation in the heart of the Chicago Suburbs, about 1 hour northwest of Chicago with an average attendance of 120 people.
• Our mission is to glorify God by making disciples of Messiah Yeshua among Israel and the Nations.
• Our vision is to be a community where Jews and Gentiles share New Life in Messiah.
• We are committed to public worship, expositional preaching and teaching of God's Word, actively reaching people for Messiah locally and worldwide, equipping believers for service, and administration of God's ordinances.
• We are non-Charismatic in our approach to corporate worship and ministry regarding the sign gifts.
• Our objective is to find a Jewish man committed to the same approach to ministry as we are. Our current congregational leader, Dan Strull has been serving full-time as our pastor since 1987 and would like to make an intentional transition of leadership.
You will:
• Oversee all aspects of congregational life
• Primarily function as a teaching elder
• Train up members for service rather than to be personally involved in all areas
• Not be unduly burdened by tasks unrelated to the primary function. To unduly burden the pastor with other functions, particularly those which can be performed by other members, is to rob him of study time and devotion to the Word.
