Open Pulpits

Minister - Unity of Flagstaff

Unity of Flagstaff, a warm-hearted, welcoming community seeks a minister that provides a dynamic, inspirational New Thought based message on three Sundays a month. One whose moral leadership provides guidance and encourages creativity to volunteers and staff.

The minister will attend bi-monthly Board meetings, weekly Prayer Team meetings and become familiar with the community.

After approximately 6 months and the minister has transitioned into our community, a decision about employees and salaries will be made in conjunction with the Board of Trustees.

Flagstaff is a very desirable location in northern Arizona at 7000 feet elevation with a high quality of life in the forested mountains. Northern Arizona University is the largest employer and tourism is the top economic sector.

This is a part-time position. Most candidates will likely need additional income to cover the high cost of living as a part-time minister. Our intention is to transition to a full-time minister relatively soon. Candidates should provide a disc or link to examples of their recent talks.

Things you might not know about Dallas and the DFW Metroplex 

The DFW Metroplex of 8+ million people, is richly diverse, a melting pot of cultures, religions, and lifestyles. 44 languages and 172 nationalities, along with every religion and spirituality are present. CSLDallas is in north Dallas in a very diverse neighborhood right next to the popular and growing city of Addison with its 175 restaurants as well as clubs, comedy, and shopping! The general cost of living is still reasonably low in the area and the diverse economy has withstood the impact of 911, the tech bubble bursting, various financial crises, and the influx of corporate headquarters along with their employees. The most surprising thing about Dallas may be how green it is, with trees and parks and a new Trinity River area that will be the largest urban park including the largest urban forest in the US. Dallas has a rich nightlife, philanthropic heartbeat, and the largest HRC black-tie dinner in America. And, of course, it has all the same problems, social, systemic, and political, as we face throughout our nation.
