Job description
Clinton Corners Evangelical Free Church (Clinton Corners, NY) – Senior Pastor
Clinton Corners Evangelical Free Church (CCEFC) and its Upton Lake Christian School (ULCS) are located in the rural hamlet of Clinton Corners, NY, on a picturesque 66‑acre property nestled among wooded hills and fronted by a small pond and stream. The campus includes a church sanctuary and office, an elementary school building and gym, a newly completed high school (May 2026), a full‑sized gym, and a parsonage. Upon the retirement of their previous pastor, CCEFC is seeking a Senior Pastor as the congregation pursues fresh and transforming engagements with the Lord, fellow congregants, and the surrounding communities.
Mission Statement: Living our passion for Christ, reflecting His selfless love, sharing His enduring Truth.
About CCEFC
Since its inception, CCEFC has consistently laid biblical foundations through its Sunday morning messages and its men’s and women’s Bible studies – with equal importance placed on the biblical instruction of children and youth. The love for biblical truth and its foundational role in raising the next generation is in large part the passion behind Upton Lake Christian School as well.
The congregation is relationally winsome – guests are actively welcomed, and rarely will someone leave a Sunday service without having spoken to someone. Average Sunday attendance is approximately 75, spanning every generation, with a quarter of the congregation under 18.
The heart of CCEFC is a generous heart: congregants care for one another in times of illness or crisis, the church provides needs‑based tuition assistance for members’ children at ULCS, and community needs are served through foster family support, a food bank ministry, a recovery program, and a pregnancy support program. Missions support reaches the Philippines, Kenya, Romania, and other nations.
Weekly grass‑roots Bible studies for men and women meet in homes and at church across morning, afternoon, and evening offerings. Worship engages contemporary expressions while honoring the rich theology of the hymns – most often arranged in a more contemporary style alongside meaningful worship songs of the last twenty years.
