Senior Pastor

LEADING A CONGREGATION THAT LOVES ONE ANOTHER

First and foremost, WPC is a community of care. The next pastor will find a congregation eager to be shepherded, prayed with, and guided in faith. Preaching and teaching will remain vital—rooted in Scripture, relevant to life, and centered on Christ. Pastoral care, too, will be essential, as members of WPC treasure the presence of a pastor who is available, approachable, and willing to walk alongside them through life’s joys and challenges.

At the same time, WPC is looking outward. The church sees itself as uniquely placed “in the heart of Wabash” and desires to live out the love of Christ tangibly among its neighbors. The next leader will have the opportunity to:

• Encourage and develop outreach initiatives that serve the needs of Wabash families, children, and seniors.
• Strengthen the church’s connections with community partners, schools, and service organizations.
• Support and grow the Montessori school ministry as a missional outreach to young families.
• Lead the congregation in discerning new opportunities for hospitality, evangelism, and service.

Worship at WPC is both traditional and welcoming, with music and liturgy that reflect the Presbyterian heritage while remaining accessible to people of all ages. The next pastor will have the chance to shape a worship culture that is vibrant, engaging, and Christ-centered—always pointing people toward the gospel.

Equally important is the cultivation of community life. Fellowship meals, small groups, intergenerational events, and service projects all form the heartbeat of WPC. The congregation values being together, and the pastor has the opportunity to encourage these rhythms, helping people discover joy in shared life and shared mission.
