solo pastor 30 hours

The Presbyterian Church of Red Bluff Pastor Nominating Committee is seeking a 30 hour solo pastor. We want to be sure that your graduating students, and others, are aware of our call.

We are a small church in a small town in rural northern California not far from oceans, mountains and lakes. We are located along the Sacramento River and I-5 making us only a few hours from Sacramento and San Francisco. The cost of living in Red Bluff is lower than many other parts of California. We are an agricultural area with a vibrant small town and our church draws participation from Tehama County and south Shasta County.

Our church has a 150 year history. Our last pastor was with us for more than ten years and left two years ago. Our church leadership is strong and focused and we look forward to what God next has planned for us. Our Elders and Deacons are working to maintain and grow the church. We have a music ministry including a vocal and a chime choir, visiting instrumentalists, and an annual choir workshop that draws from several churches in northern California.

We utilize the Church Leadership Connection (CLC) where potential candidates can self-refer or be matched with our church. Information about our church can be found by searching for the position “solo pastor- installed” then selecting CA and then typing in Red Bluff in the city field on the next screen and, finally, clicking on the “view MDP” button. Here is the link to the CLC website: https://clc.pcusa.org/login

Interested parties also can contact the PNC by contacting our chair Chet Wood at ctwood24@yahoo.com Our Facebook page is The Presbyterian Church of Red Bluff, California. Our live streams are available on YouTube under Red Bluff Presbyterian Church Live Stream.

Please make this information available to all graduating students who may be interested in the solo pastor calling. Others interested in being considered for providing pulpit supply, or in serving in an interim capacity should contact the church secretary Kayla Hay at 530-527-0372 or through email at secretary@pcrb.net.
