Full-Time Co-Pastor at Stratford CRC (Stratford, ON)

Stratford Christian Reformed Church is a vibrant, well-established church that places a high emphasis on the preaching of God’s Word. We are seeking a full-time, equal status co-pastor who will fill a pastoral need within our congregation to provide solid biblical teaching, pastoral care, and support to our ministries. That man will provide spiritual leadership to our congregation, together with Pastor Martin Dam, our current pastor. The successful person will have completed a Master of Divinity program, or be nearing its completion. This role involves a significant role in preaching the Word and in pastoral care.

Stratford is a picturesque city located in southwestern Ontario with a population of over 33,000. The city’s economy includes tourism, agricultural, professional, manufacturing and service industries. Since our founding in 1951 by a group of Dutch immigrants, we have had several church homes in Stratford and remain nestled in the community in our current facility, built in 2005. Our members include those who grew up in the Reformed tradition, transplants from other denominations and those new to Christian faith.

Our congregation supports our ministry work financially and through volunteering. We have a strong, engaged volunteer base that is heavily involved in ministry, including weekday ministries within our church and local supports that bless the community. In 2024, we are thrilled to host a SERVE site as a church partner.
