Job Title: FFWPU Dublin City Leader (Pastor)

Job Location: Dublin, Ireland (Dublin 1, City Centre)

Job Type: Part-time (20-25 hrs/week)

Job Description

An exciting opening for a Dublin City Leader to develop a national base for outreach and Church development. There are willing helpers on hand and a great set-up with a prime witnessing location. Ireland has provided God’s providence with many excellent members and blessed families to assist God’s providence, past, present and future. It is a go-ahead European nation with roots that are deeply spiritual and family-oriented. The post would suit an individual or young couple interested in active missionary work. This is effectively a new post that is being created.

Responsibilities

As Dublin City Leader, you would be expected to:

Develop an active and effective base for outreach and Church development

Guide and counsel members and perform other duties of pastoral care

Run regular Sunday services and mid-week programmes

Provide education for newcomers as well as members, and induct people successfully into the Family Federation

In doing this, you should:

Ensure that the Movement’s affairs, public duties and legal requirements are properly taken care of (an experienced team will be there to support you in this)

Generate a culture of attendance and create a sense of community in the Centre

Develop and maintain a good public image for the Movement

Handle day-to-day maintenance and HR issues for the Centre

Maintain a good working relationship with the National Leader and others in positions of responsibility

Respond to directions from the regional and international offices, and report regularly

Qualifications

Candidates MUST have:

Legal permission to live and work in Ireland (would suit an EU Citizen)

A good standard in their personal life of faith coupled with a strong desire to serve God and True Parents

It would be a distinct advantage to:

Be a confident public speaker and lecturer

Have sound knowledge of the Divine Principle, the Bible and other faiths

Be well-organized and efficient

Have the capacity to deal patiently with a variety of personalities and situations

Compensation

As a small community, our main source of compensation would be the use of a double bedroom in the Dublin Church Centre in lieu of payment. Utilities would be included (heating, electricity, water, internet, etc.). In addition, a weekly stipend of 50 euros will be provided to help cover the cost of food.

The Centre, Unity House, is a beautiful four-story Georgian building, located in the heart of Dublin. It has a large communal kitchen in the basement and several function rooms. It can house a maximum of fourteen paying residents.

You would be free to find a supplementary source of income given the part-time nature of the work.

Please email loewfamily02@ gmail,com to express your interest in the position and outline your reasons for applying, as well as relevant past experiences. Feel free to ask any questions about the role as well.

Our Irish community wants to find the best candidate, someone with a sense of calling, which means that we don’t have a deadline to fill this position. We would like to see a commitment to the mission for at least two years, with the first six months being a trial and transition period where the current National Pastor would work closely with the new City Leader.
