CHURCH OF CHRIST IN THE GLADE
FAIRFIELD GLADE TN, 38558
A SMALL CONGREGATION AT FAIRFIELD GLADE TN HAS THE
PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR A RETIREE WHO HAS THE DESIRE TO
PREACH AND IS STILL YOUNG ENOUGH TO HAVE THE ENERGY TO
CONTINUE HIS SERVICE TO GOD.
THIS IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A PREACHER WHO HAS
ANOTHER SOURCE OF INCOME OR IS WILLING TO WORK AS A FULL
TIME PREACHER FOR A COMPARATIVE SMALL INCOME.
CHARACTERISTICS WE ARE SEEKING;
-PROVEN SERVICE TO THE LORD
-SOUND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S WORD
-GOOD REFERENCES FROM PREVIOUS PLACES OF SERVICE AND
INDIVIDUALS
-ONE WHOSE PRIMARY RESOURCE FOR GOD’S TRUTH IS THE
KING JAMES, NEW KING JAMES, AMERICAN STANDARD AND NEW
AMERICAN STANDARD VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE. (UNDERSTANDING
THE ERRORS OF OTHER CURRENT VERSIONS USED MAKE THEM
UNSUITABLE )
FAIRFIELD GLADE IS A RETIREMENT COMMUNITY OF
APPROXIMATELY 6000 PEOPLE. WE ARE MOSTLY OLDER PEOPLE
WITH A FEW YOUNG FAMILIES. OUR CONGREGATION IS COMPOSED
OF APPROXIMATELY 27 MEMBERS AND IS LED BY TWO CAPABLE
ELDERS. WE DESIRE TO INCREASE OUR NUMBERS AND TAKE THE
GOSPEL TO OUR COMMUNITY.
IN ADDITION TO OUR MEMBERSHIP HERE AT THE GLADE,
THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 30 OTHER FAMILYS IN THE GLADE
WHO ATTEND THE CHURCH OF CHRIST AT OTHER CONGREGATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE CROSSVILLE TN AREA. THESE FAMILIES
AFFILIATED WITH THE OTHER CONGREGATIONS BEFORE OUR
CHURCH WAS ESTABLISHED. HOWEVER SOME WHO WERE TRAVELING
OUTSIDE OUR COMMUNITY HAVE NOW PLACED THEIR MEMBERSHIP
WITH US AS A MORE CONVENIENT AND DESIRABLE ALTERNATIVE.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT GOAL OF OUR CONGREGATION IS TO
OBTAIN A PERMANENT SITE FOR OUR CHURCH AS WE NOW RENT A
BUILDING LOCATED IN CENTRAL FAIRFIELD GLADE. WE ARE
BLESSED WITH ADEQUATE RESOURCES TO MEET OUR REQUIRED
BUDGET WHICH INCLUDES AN ANNUAL SALARY FOR A PREACHER.
WE ARE PREPARED TO PAY A PREACHER WHO MEETS OUR
NEEDS:
$20,800/YEAR-
INCLUDING FOUR WEEKS PAID “PERSONAL TIME”
