| Priceville Church of Christ, Priceville, Al 11/10/2011 NEW!!! (Just Outside Decatur, AL) Our elders want me to initiate a search to find a youth minister to work part-time with our young people. We will be flexible to work with the person's schedule because they need to have outside employment, but we will be able to provide them weekly compensation. Ideally, we would like someone 20-25, full of energy, and, most importantly, with a heart for the Savior. They would be expected to help out in our Bible class program on Sundays, conduct our youth group sessions on Wednesdays, organize periodic devos and activities for the kids both from the congregation and from the community, organize and take the kids to the Area Wide Youth Devotionals and other church-wide youth activities, lead singing and fully participate in our worship duty roster rotation. Priceville has never had anything like this, so it will be a great chance to get in at the ground floor and help start something worthwhile. Priceville has more than doubled in membership in the last five years and we are expecting continued growth. We recently began a "step by step" project to renovate our church building, classrooms, and fellowship hall. Our building is located just off I-65 Exit 334, the first exit south of the Tennessee River between Decatur and Huntsville, Alabama. As we grow, the position will grow. If interested, please contact me by email at michaelwrhodes@gmail.com. Thanks, Mike Rhodes Minister Priceville Church of Christ |
| Church Of CHRIST 03/28/2011 1825 Fulton Road Santa Rosa, CA 95403 Phone: 707-525-1942 Email: church-of-Christ-fulton-road@juno.com Greetings Brethren, The church of Christ that meets at 1825 Fulton Road in the city of Santa Rosa, California in beautiful Sonoma County, is looking for a gospel preacher (preferably) full time. We are looking for a person who can share a mindset of “beginning a new work” rather than just coming to continue the existence of a congregation of God’s people. This would take an energetic person who is ready to prepare and ‘rally the troops’ for Christ’s work. Since we do not have elders, decisions concerning our congregation are made at the men’s business meeting. The men have envisioned the preacher preparing lessons for Sunday morning and evening and teaching Bible class on Sunday morning or Wednesday evening. He would also hold individual Bible studies with prospective and/or new members with the assistance of our members. Being able to motivate the members and leading by example in personal work is an attribute the men feel is essential along with Bible based lessons. Being able to reach out to, and communicate with the young people in our community is a definite attribute we are seeking in our preacher. We have a Spanish-speaking congregation that also meets in the building. Most of that group attend our English Bible classes and worship services as well as their own. If interested in this position, please send your resume along with the completed attached questionnaire. From those we wish to consider further, we will request a recording or video of one of your recent sermons or lessons. If you live within 2 hours or so of our location and would consider driving here, we can schedule a time for you to preach in person and fellowship with us. Financial compensation is open for negotiation depending on agreed to hours, experience and abilities. Please contact us at... church of Christ 1825 Fulton Road Santa Rosa, CA 95403 Phone: 707-525-1942 Or you can email us at: church-of-Christ-fulton-road@juno.com Thank you in advance for your interest in our spiritual growth, The Brethren at: fulton road church of Christ Please Post The Ad On Your Bulletin Board...The Questionnaire To Be Given Only For Those Interested In The Preaching Position...Thank You Very Much Preacher Questionnaire: What do you feel your job duties are? What role(s) do you feel a preacher/minister should fulfill in the church? What are your feelings about eating on the church grounds or in the building, such as potlucks? Do you think the church has scriptural authority to take money from the church treasury and give it to needy non-members? What do you feel woman’s role is in the church? What are your thoughts about church benevolence for? 1) Members of the church? 2) Non-members? How would you work with members of a congregation that have different opinions on disputable matters?

What are your hobbies and interests? What are your thoughts about the church receiving income by renting/leasing church property? Do you have any experience hosting gospel meetings? As a preacher at times you will be required to visit the fallen away, having daily individual bible study classes, visiting the sick, perform weddings and funerals, working with/teaching the youth, visiting new and existing members, evangelizing and doing outreach to the community. Are there any of these that you would feel uncomfortable performing, and if so, why? How do you feel about working with a group that desires to have elders, but does not have them yet? Where do you get your guidance (not inspiration) for bible study topics and sermons? What foreign languages do you fluently speak, read or write? Where do you think a preacher should provide counseling and where should he not? How would you motivate church members to participate and become more active in Christian activities? How do you feel that you are qualified for this position? What is your ministerial/preaching/teaching experience background? Please provide us with your chronological history. How would you help develop leaders out of the men in a congregation? Please furnish at least 3 references with first and last names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses (if available).

PREACHER TRAINING SUPPORT NEEDED
WADE PHILLIPS 27355 Scoggins Road Elkmont, AL 35620-4639 phillipselkmont@aol.com (256)278-8819 Brethren, My deepest gratitude goes to brother Harold for allowing me to post this. I will be attending Northwest Florida School of Biblical Studies, beginning the 28th of November. (Lord willing, of course!) I am in need of support, as most of you can well understand. I will have absolutely no debt, with the exception of gratitude, by the time I move there from Elkmont, Alabama; but I will of course have normal living expenses while there for the next two years. My wife has a housecleaning business; but when she and my children move down to join me next summer, that will end. I am 43 years old and have worked for UPS for the last 22 years. After two back surgeries, I am no longer able to do that kind of work. My original plan, dating back about 8 years, was to attend a school of preaching after I retired in 12-14 more years and then spend the rest of my time on earth preaching the gospel. Circumstance, or dare I say providence, has moved that time table up somewhat. Because I will lose those extra 12-14 years of a very good income, I will not be able to support my family during my studies at NWFSBS. If you, your home congregation or someone else you may know would be interested in helping, we would greatly appreciate it. feel free to call me @ (256)278-8819, or you may email me at phillipselkmont@aol.com Brother Harold Bigham can attest to the soundness and goodness of the school; his son is a graduate of it. I will gladly and quickly provide references and/or any information that you may desire. In Christian love, Wade Phillips 27355 Scoggins Road Elkmont, AL 35620-4639 phillipselkmont@aol.com (256)278-8819 |

Dear
Brethren, Those of you who know me,
know that the first ten years of my work in full time ministry was in
the
mission fields of South Georgia. Now, after many years absent from
South
Georgia work, I have made a decision to return to the field.
Screven County Georgia was the 14th county formed in Georgia, and was named for Revolutionary War General James Screven. Created in 1793 from parts of Burke and Effingham counties, parts of the original county later formed Bulloch and Jenkins counties. At present the county population is 15,374. Sylvania is the county seat. Church in Sylvania
The first work of this new mission effort is to determine the feasibility of reviving the church of Christ in Sylvania. In order to achieve this goal a personal visit must be made to Sylvania and two things need to take place: (1) An complete examination of the current church property must be conducted in order to determine if the property could still be used for a meeting house; (2) Attempts should be made to contact current church members to determine what, if any, interest they have in reviving the Sylvania congregation.
My Interest in the Work My
interest in the work stems from my previous association with it. From
January
of 1981 through December of 1982, I ministered with the Sylvania
church. At the
time I started there were four of us in regular attendance on Sunday
mornings
(myself, my wife and daughter and one other member-sister Sally Rice).
At the
time we left the work, our attendance was averaging 35 on Sunday
mornings. In
the short two year period I was there, I baptized several people (10
people I
can recall from memory) and four people were restored. Thus, the work
was on a
good footing and we left on good terms (I left the work in order to go
to
graduate school). It is for this reason that I have an interest in
accessing
the work and, if it is deemed reasonable to do so, resume ministry with
the
work. Current Needs
We are looking for congregations and/or individuals who will make contributions to help us in this worthy cause. Whether you can make a commitment of a monthly contribution (in any amount) for six months to a year, or a onetime contribution, all is welcomed and needed at this point. Checks should be made out to the Community Church of Christ and earmarked for “Tom Atkinson” or “Georgia Mission work.” Send to: Community church of Christ PO Box 271 Union City, TN 38281-0271 (Note: the Community church of Christ is just the name of the congregation. We are in now way or fashion associated with the so-called "community church" movement). Thank you for your
consideration. I also thank you for your prayers as those are needed
most of
all. May God bless always.
