Church Relations

We are seeking someone to oversee our youth program from birth thru high school. We would like someone who has a passion for discipling youth to believe in Christ as Lord and Savior and helping them grow in their faith, connecting with other believers and eventually going and making disciples themselves. Some of the main responsibilities are to continue training our youth sponsors and volunteers, meeting with students individually or in small groups for making a decision for Christ, leading a youth Sunday School class, oversee our children’s church program, leading an evening youth group, plan fellowship events and activities. There will also be preaching opportunities available some Sundays, depending on how much the person enjoys the opportunity. Our leadership and congregation is very supportive of our ministry staff.

Havana Church of Christ is a very loving, active congregation of about 150 people, focused on making disciples of Jesus Christ. We are a multigenerational church that puts a priority on youth and families. Havana is a small town of about 3,000 people in central Illinois. We are an independent Christian Church based in the Restoration Movement. We firmly believe in the authority of God’s Word, in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and that we are saved by Grace through faith in Christ. We have an active high school and junior high youth group, and children’s church program with trained youth sponsors and volunteers. Our congregation works with other Bible-believing churches in our community to help the needy, plan several community worship services and fellowship events. You’ll find our congregation is very supportive of its pastors.

The Senior Minister will be retiring at the end of 2025.  We are looking for someone who could come in and serve with him in 2025 in preparation to become the next Sr. Minister.

ABOUT OUR CHURCH:

Macomb Christian Church has a Sunday morning attendance of 250-300 but has the history and potential of being much larger. A new Lead Minister, Kurt Charlton, was hired in August 2023 and the former Lead Minister, Andy Timm, transitioned to the role of Teaching Minister. Kurt’s passion is for organizational health and is working to breathe new life into our staff, ministries, leadership development, and organizational structure. This exciting time of restructuring and transition is a perfect time for a new Worship Minister to jump on board and contribute to our growth.

Our facility allows plenty of space for ministry and was recently updated, refreshed, and remodeled in the past few years. The 300-seat auditorium features a large stage, professional A/V equipment, and room for growth. Large group events can be held in the full-size gymnasium and commercial kitchen.

The Worship Center was recently updated with a modern design. It has a large stage, updated lighting, digital projection screens, a 40-channel digital board, etc. There is a budget for multiple stage redesigns throughout the year and flexibility to create plenty of options.

ABOUT OUR AREA:

Macomb Christian Church is in the heart of Macomb County, which is the third largest county in Michigan. With a population of almost 900,000, Macomb County is home to a very diverse population. The southern part of the county is just outside of downtown Detroit and is mostly urban. The northern part of the county is very rural and has a lot of parks, farmland, and
golf courses.

The church is in Shelby Township, which is a highly populated suburban area of 80,000 residents in the middle of the county. This transitional area is mostly comprised of
sub-divisions and new developments. A couple of miles to the south is a major highway where you can find countless stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, etc. A few miles to the north are rural farmland, but the area is quickly being converted to sub-division housing. There are a lot of parks, trails, ponds, and outdoor activities in the region.
