South Yarra Presbyterian Church, a congregation of the Presbyterian Church of Australia, was established on its present site in 1854 and has continued to proclaim the gospel in the inner suburbs of Melbourne. The congregation is now looking to call a new senior minister.
We are a Reformed and evangelical church that values sound preaching and a confessional approach to worship, teaching and congregational life. We are thankful for a tradition of fine preachers and pastors and want to maintain a faithful and welcoming witness to the gospel. We are currently a vigorous congregation with between 40 and 50 regularly attending, with an active eldership, drawing people both from South Yarra and across Melbourne, from a variety of cultural backgrounds. A pastoral support worker has recently been employed to assist us in expanding the ministry of the congregation. Our property’s size and inner-city location provides considerable scope for future ministry, and we are looking to renew our heritage church building as part of that process.
Our selection committee is seeking expressions of interest from, preferably, those with some experience in congregational ministry, who prize the preaching of the Word and welcome the opportunity to pastor within a confessionally Reformed context.
For further details and to express interest, please contact both:
- Interim Moderator, Rev. Graham Nicholson, at g.nicholson@optusnet.com.au
- Session Clerk, Rev. Ben Nelson, at ben.nelson@ptc.vic.edu.au.
