Parish Minister in a Single-Pastorate

Church can do more. So can you. We are not perfect. But we are alive. Around 1,000 people belong to our rural community in the Lake Zurich region. What connects us: closeness, authenticity and an uncomplicated togetherness – easily accessible, but above all well connected. 

You don’t just want to manage, but to shape? Then you are right with us. In the single-pastorate you decisively shape church life – in all its diversity.

Your field of activity 

• You independently shape church life in the single-pastorate with plenty of freedom
• You contribute your ideas and develop formats that truly reach people 
• You are present in people’s everyday lives – attentive, interested and empathetic 
• You combine tradition with new impulses and sometimes take unfamiliar paths 

Your environment 

• An engaged, five-member church council that thinks along and supports you
• A well-organised secretariat that has your back and makes your everyday life easier 
• A community that is open to new things and willing to go along 
• Short decision-making paths, little bureaucracy and a lot of trust

You believe – and live it too. You meet people openly, empathetically and on equal terms. You are interested in different life realities and find words for faith that are understandable and resonate in everyday life. You are ordained or church-recognised (or on the way there) and master German at a native level. And together? We make church tangible. Relevant. Human. 

Your workload is 80% until June 2028. After that, it is up to you: you continue to shape and actively influence the future of the community. Does that sound like you? Then show us who you are – clear, honest and straightforward. We look forward to your application with complete documents.
