** Meeker Christian Church is seeking a Minister to lead our growing, close-knit church family in rural Colorado. Established in the 1960s, we are an independent, Bible-centered, Gospel-driven church with an average of 50–60 people on Sunday.

We are looking for a minister who loves Jesus, faithfully teaches God's Word, and has a youthful heart — energetic, comfortable with younger generations, open to technology, and willing to bring new ideas while respecting the traditions and people of our church.
** Our Mission
** To glorify God by proclaiming Jesus Christ, making disciples, and building a loving, unified church grounded in the truth of God's Word. Our simple mission is:

** Worship

Our current minister is retiring. Our current pianist is the wife of our retiring minister, so we will also need a pianist when they leave. Musical ability is preferred but not required.

We want our next minister to build trust first, then help us grow. We are not looking for someone who wants to change everything immediately. We want someone who will love our congregation, preserve strong relationships between generations, and help us reach more people for Christ.
