Grace and Mercy started as a Bible study in a home. The group grew and more room was needed so the decision was made to get a commercial location. This would enable us to have more contact with people and allow us to have activities that we could not in the house setting. God would eventually lead us to partner with First Chrisian church where we now meet.
First Christian Church was established in 1887 and the current sanctuary was built in 1910. In 2020, long time pastor Wayne Witner retired. This would lead to a partnership with the newly planted Grace and Mercy Bible Fellowship. The two would merge in January of 2023 and form Grace and Mercy Christian Church
We all were once helpless with no way to reach God. Because of God's grace and mercy, He provided Jesus to pay the penalty we could not pay so that we might have a relationship with God and be able to have eternal life in heaven after we die. It is because of God's grace - not our good deeds - that we can be forgiven of the things we have done wrong.
We are a small town non-denominational church in the San Luis Valley in need of a pastor committed to faithfully preaching the complete Word of God.
Grace and Mercy Christian Church is a family-oriented church believing the Bible to be the infallible Word of God. Our congregation needs a dynamic visionary who will submit himself/herself to God's authority in faithfully preaching the complete Word of God while being a strong spiritual leader. His gifts should also include relevant preaching and effectively leading the church ministry to the needs of the people. Congregation is small with an opportunity for growth.
The pastor serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the church in charge of daily operation of the church. Duties are:
Salaried position to be discussed full-time or part-time. Full-time salary would be $23,4500 annually, plus housing allowance of $15,000 annually.
