2 From the Search Committee Dear Candidate, The St. Andrew s Amherstburg Search Committee welcomes your interest in our ministry, and encourages you to consider more deeply a call to lead our congregation as full time Minister of Word and Sacrament. St. Andrew s has a long history, 189 years, of service to the congregation and the historic community in which it resides. We are looking, at this pivotal time, for a spiritual leader that can forward the ministries of St. Andrew s and continue the development of the congregation s growth in Christ s way. Amherstburg is a small, historic community that is finding a revitalized identity and St. Andrew s Amherstburg is looking to renew its Mission in the immediate and global community. We invite you to open yourself to the Holy Spirit s inspiration as you read the profile and see if God has placed a call on your heart to serve with our congregation. All inquiries and applications should be directed towards Reverend Doug Cameron, Interim Moderator. In Christ s service, Rev. Douglas Cameron, Interim Moderator The St. Andrew s Search Committee: Pamela Badiuk, Margaret Hawkins, Phil Kasurak, Doris Kepran Kathleen Knott, John McDonald, Kathy Parks, Dennis White and Charles Wilson 2

3 Community Located in the beautiful historic town of Amherstburg Ontario, St. Andrew's is a charming church whose congregation dates back over 189 years to its founding in The current sanctuary itself dates from Amherstburg is on the Detroit River 27 kilometers south of Windsor, with an attractive view of Lake Erie and ocean going vessels plying the St. Lawrence Seaway. The town has several churches, many restaurants, and abundant recreational areas, including the magnificent King s Navy Yard Park on the river and the Holiday Beach Conservation area on Lake Erie. Its military history, as reflected by Fort Malden, a national historic site, predates the War of 1812 and it was a prominent terminal in the Underground Railway, as documented by the Freedom Museum. It is the site of several annual festivals and celebrations and has received numerous awards for its horticultural assets. Please visit for further information on our community. While Amherstburg is known as a very safe community, it is not without some challenges, such as retention of youth in the community. There are significant opportunities for ministry in our community as it evolves from dominant manufacturing to a bedroom and retirement community. There is a strong tourism component and a high school in the core. 3

4 Community (continued) Education: Amherstburg is home to five elementary schools, including one which has started a French Immersion program and one which is a French language school. The town also has a public high school, which is scheduled to be re-built. The city of Windsor is home to the University of Windsor and St. Clair Colllege. Greater Essex County District School Board see: The University of Windsor see: St. Clair College located in Windsor and Chatham, see: Culture and Recreation: Amherstburg boasts several festivals throughout the year including Rivertown Lights, The Harvest Festival, Art by the River, Military Heritage Days, Amherstburg Gone Car Crazy and Ice Cream Festival/Canada Day Celebrations. The town is home to the Libro Arena and Sports Complex. Amherstburg is a short drive to Detroit, Michigan which is host to major league sports teams, world class concerts as well as many galleries and museums. 4

5 Worship Life Our worship largely takes the form of a traditional Presbyterian service, with significant musical variety. Services are subtly supported with electronic amplification and projection. The congregation is known for being exceptionally warm, friendly and welcoming; Sunday service is traditionally followed by a coffee hour. Music plays a vital role in our church life. Our choir, under the very capable leadership of our accomplished and gifted musical director and supported by a very talented percussionist, presents a variety of traditional, modern and eclectic music. The sanctuary boasts both a vintage pipe organ and a magnificent grand piano. We have been attempting to foster necessary growth while retaining the format that our members have come to cherish. We believe that a mixture of respect for our evolutionary path, a positive message from the pulpit, the variety of our accomplished musical program and our outreach into the community would accomplish these goals. 5

7 Pastoral Care Pastoral Care Our congregation requires care and counsel both for our attending congregation and for our long standing members and adherents who are unable to attend on a weekly basis. We consider pastoral care to be a fundamental activity and are looking for leadership and dialogue as we re-evaluate its delivery to the members of our congregation. Mission Embracing and expressing our love for God ~ through prayer, sacraments, hospitality, outreach and service to all St. Andrews ministers to the Village Lodge, which is a Boarding House Ministry, and a worship service is held monthly at Richmond Terrace Retirement Home. A very active Prayer Chain continues to provide support at the request of members of the congregation and community. Many of our members are involved in community and service organizations benefitting Amherstburg residents and others well beyond the boundaries of the church. The Village Lodge 7

8 Christian Education and Youth Ministries For example, during the 2016 Olympics, the children participated in their very own Olympic activities with a corresponding lesson from the Bible. Our Sunday School students also present skits and pageants, often involving many adults from the congregation as well. We are looking forward to growing our Sunday School and offering a youth group in the future. In the past, Bible Studies, Alpha Programs and Women s Retreats have been successfully supported and their restoration would be most desirable. At St. Andrews, both Sunday School and Nursery are provided during our weekly church service. While the number of participants may be modest, our Sunday School coordinator delivers a vibrant, relevant curriculum to the children. They learn and grow in their spirituality while being engaged in creative and fun activities. Involvement in the Denomination Our Minister and Kirk Session have been active in Presbytery and General Assembly and we intend to continue this. Administration and Stewardship of Financial Resources As with many churches, the continued care and maintenance of our church and congregation can present significant financial challenges. Our Treasurer is a member of our congregation and a professional accountant. It is hoped that the candidate will have a positive influence in this area. 8

9 Goals and Objectives Following the appointment of a minister, among the first priorities will be to review the goals and objectives by the Session and Minister. Presently these include: Continuing to offer inclusive and engaging worship services accompanied with opportunities for socialization To give support, assurance and comfort to our current congregation through services, functions, and counseling; Maintain the church structure and property in good repair for the foreseeable future; Continue to support external agencies, such as the Boarding House Ministry, Richmond Senior Residence, the Food Bank and Mission Manage available resources in a manner that secures our future. 9

10 Congregational Life and Organizations within the Church Along with the Session and the Board, the St Andrews Action Committee and other volunteers, co-ordinate the following fundraisers: rummage sales, bake sales, spaghetti, turkey and chicken dinners, are held throughout the year to support the work of the church. There are also many pot luck luncheons as well as a Good Friday Breakfast. Rummage/bake sales are held in the spring and fall. These latter events also provide essential items at very reasonable cost to the disadvantaged in our community. Various lay organizations and community groups use the church throughout the week. The choir participates in the weekly service and other church events including funerals and the Christmas Cantata/Concert. Longstanding ministers of the recent past include Rev. Elizabeth Jobb, the pastor for 11 years from 2002 until her retirement in Her predecessor, Rev. John Burkhart, served for 37 years from 1964 to The longevity of their service speaks to the stability & character of our congregation. 10

11 Finances In addition to our General Fund ($27,000), there is a Memorial Fund ($26,000), a Manse Fund ($130,000), a Building Maintenance Fund ($26,000--with income from an estate trust fund of approximately $10,000 per year) and a Reserve Fund ($150,000).

Note 2. The four items ranked as number 3 (instead of 3, 4, 5 and 6) were seen as inter-related and hard to separate. Note 3. Crisis Visiting - rank 8 - is seen as part of Pastoral Care 14
