SKILLS, PERSONALTIY, AND EXPERIENCE
Educational Preferences: Must be a graduate of Seminary.
Age vs. Experience: Fairfield is a retirement community and our congregation is comprised of seniors, however, we are open to younger candidates. We prefer at least 2-5 years’ experience as a solo pastor, but that is not cast in stone. Our congregation does not have a youth program and that may be an issue with candidates with children at home. There is no school in Fairfield Bay and children either go to the Shirley School or the Greers Ferry School, both approximately 10 miles away.
