VACANCY – Minister of Word and Sacrament

Mosgiel–North Taieri Presbyterian Church | Otago | Full-time

Mosgiel–North Taieri Presbyterian Church is seeking a Nationally Ordained Minister to lead a warm, committed congregation into a new season of faith, renewal, and community engagement.

Following a missional refocus we are ready to grow deeper in discipleship and expand our impact across the Taieri. We are an active parish of around 124 people, grounded in prayer, strong pastoral care, and shared ministry, with established connections across schools, families, and community organisations.

We seek a minister who will preach with biblical depth, lead collaboratively, nurture relationships, and bring vision for mission and growth. You will be supported by engaged leaders, capable teams, and a congregation ready to participate.

This is a full-time call under standard PCANZ Terms, with housing and support provided.

If you feel called to serve, lead, and grow with us, we would love to hear from you. Expressions of interest will close on 5 August 2026.
