Ministry Description:
Hebron English Ministry has been a ministry dedicated to building the body of Christ in Chicagoland for over 30 years. Hebron Presbyterian Church is a part of the Korean American Presbyterian Church (KAPC) denomination and started as a faith community for Korean immigrants. We are a church that is Reformed/Presbyterian in our theology and accent of faith. As the church grew and the congregation started to adjust to their new home in Chicago, an English‑speaking ministry was formed to address the changing needs of 2nd generation Korean Americans. Today, Hebron English Ministry is a mix of students, young professionals, and families that are curious about a God who embraces, encourages, and empowers us. Responsibilities:
Visioning:
Lead efforts to develop and align a compelling vision at various levels: church-wide, departments, and ministry teams. Implement strategic plans to achieve ministry goals, ensuring they resonate with the congregation's demographic. Build a collaborative relationship with the Korean Speaking Ministry to drive a 2 household: 1 church vision.
Participate in a joint committee with English and Korean speaking members to develop joint initiatives and programs that enhance mutual understanding and fellowship. Create joint bylaws with the Korean Ministry to ensure growth and unity as one church.
Lead and mentor The Board, fostering a culture of servant leadership and strategic planning. Participate in Board meetings and help guide The Board in decision-making processes that align with the church's mission and vision. Teaching:
Deliver impactful sermons that are biblically sound and relevant to the congregation's life stages and experiences. Encourage and equip individuals to embody and practice their faith in their personal and professional circles. Provide resources and opportunities for members to apply biblical principles in everyday situations. This could be in the form of bible studies, retreats, open Q&A, etc. Training:
Identify, mentor, and train emerging leaders within the congregation to assume roles of increased responsibility. Organize workshops and training sessions to drive culture of servant leadership and equip leaders with necessary skills and knowledge to serve with excellence. Develop role definitions, responsibilities, and expectations for each ministry area. Member Care:
