Job Description

Covenant Christian Reformed Church is seeking a pastor (or pastoral team) to work with us as we live together in unity and minister to our community and our world. Covenant is located in Sioux Center, Iowa, a thriving and vibrant college town in Northwest Iowa. It draws students and faculty from Dordt University.

Candidates should be committed to the Reformed tradition and to excellent preaching and teaching. Covenant is an intergenerational congregation, so our pastor should enjoy ministering to persons of all ages through conversations, informal counseling, and pastoral visits. The position will open on March 1, 2026, following the retirement of our current pastor.

We are looking for a person who will work collaboratively and creatively with us as we live out our calling in God’s world. He or she will embrace Covenant’s commitment to developing and affirming the gifts of all members, including welcoming women into all offices and children to the Lord’s Supper, which we celebrate weekly. We seek to be a place of peace and welcome in the spirit of Romans 15:7, regardless of ecclesiastical or political context. For more information, contact Sally Jongsma, chair of the Search Committee at [email protected].
