Ministry Opportunities

Opportunity for Service

After 5 years of service, Surendra and May Wesley have decided to move on from Mt Magnet, WA at the end of 2019 and have accepted a call to Victoria.

This creates an opportunity for a suitably qualified couple to get involved in an exciting ministry that is bearing fruit in a unique location. Current activities include weekly church services, a well-attended Sunday school, town-based outreach and local patrol ministry.

If you have a heart for the lost and a desire to help God’s people grow in maturity, and you have skills in evangelism, one-to-one discipling, preaching and small group leadership, then this might be a role for you.

A track record of effective service as an elder, home missionary or pastor in a Presbyterian Church is desirable, as is some formal theological training. The ministry work in Mt Magnet is a joint work of the Presbytery of WA, APWM and PIM. Please contact Andrew Letcher, CEO of PIM, by email to ceo@pim.org.au or phone on 0438 868 964 for an information pack or to express your interest.
