This called, part time pastor position is now available. The estimated time commitment will be 20 hours per week.

The church’s vision and mission statements are: Mission Statement: As followers of Jesus Christ, we, the people of Amistad Chapel, seek to love kindness, do justice and walk humbly with God by living out the United Church of Christ core values of extravagant hospitality, changing lives and continuing testament as we welcome all, love all and seek justice for all. Vision: To be a welcoming urban (downtown) church, expressing our faith through progressive theology, spirit-filled worship, and community engagement. We embrace the United Church of Christ vision, “United in Christ's love, a just world for all.” We live out our Vision and Mission through the following spiritual formation, education, missions and outreach opportunities: Amistad Chapel UCC is a new start church that is open and affirming, with a small membership at this time. We see ourselves as a progressive, urban congregation that draws in people from the suburbs, the city, and the streets. Our worship is filled with uplifting music, creative liturgy, spirit-filled and often action-oriented sermons. The Sunday morning service is open and welcoming to all which allows a diverse membership. Even though we are small at this time we are involved in active outreach in support of a local food pantry. We donate personal care items to the local LGBTQ Center. We support other mission-oriented events as they arise. Our congregation is also involved in providing voter registration opportunities through the Our Faith, Our Voice, Our Vote campaign. From time to time we offer “Coffee Talk”/Bible study opportunities and have invited guest preachers to our pulpit to provide inspiring and informative sermons on current and social issues. Fellowship opportunities other than Sunday morning include conversations over a meal, movie nights, and art walks which provide a safe space for expressions of differing views and questions. Amistad Chapel UCC is located in the UCC’s national office building at 700 Prospect. This location creates a unique connection to global and national visitors who come to meetings at the UCC headquarters and often remain for Sunday worship. On many occasions local churches will bring their members and/or confirmation classes for tours of the building and Sunday worship. Pastors from around the country have preached at Amistad Chapel and view this opportunity to lead or participate in worship as an honor.

What is God calling your church to do/become over the next few years? Over the next few years, numerous apartment buildings and condos will be built in downtown Cleveland, drawing thousands of people to enjoy urban living in the area. We are exploring fresh new ways to “do church” in an urban setting. We have a unique opportunity to repurpose the use of physical space for wellness initiatives like yoga, acupressure and meditation; host art/photo gallery exhibits; and continue our focus on innovative worship and music concerts. As one of only two progressive Churches located in downtown Cleveland – the other is Old Stone Church PCUSA – we are always looking for partnership opportunities to provide innovative programming that feeds the souls of area residents. Other nearby UCC Churches, UCC national ministries, and non-profit organizations are also important partners as we seek creative ways to be Church.

Describe how the church expects the person you are seeking to help your church reach these goals: Conversations with the membership about the future of Amistad Chapel UCC affirmed the desire to call a pastor that shares our vision for outreach beyond the pew and is community-driven and willing to spend quality time in the community developing relationships with downtown residents, organizations and local businesses. We are seeking a pastor who:

Has strong leadership skills and ability to follow through

Is energetic and passionate on social justice issues

Is creative and an outside-of-the-box thinker

Is social media and technology literate

Is inclusive and committed to working together with our membership helping Amistad Chapel UCC to grow.

We are seeking someone who is excited about the possibilities and opportunities that exist in Cleveland and wishes to be a part of its future successes. Above all, we seek a pastor who will share the word of God with us, challenge us, love us, pray with and for us, support us, and help us to keep our focus on God’s message.

Our Statement on Ministry

Rev. Kate Matthews (Huey) served a dual role as Dean of Amistad Chapel in ministry to Wednesday worship and as pastor of Amistad Chapel UCC. In her time as Dean, she was approached by a group of dedicated United Church of Christ members who together began to create a new vision for how church can be done in downtown Cleveland. This group became the founding members of Amistad Chapel UCC. Grounded in a strong mission of offering meaningful worship, mission to our surrounding community and connection to the UCC National Office, we began to explore what is needed to keep Amistad Chapel not only alive but thriving following Kate's retirement in June of 2016. A Transition Team of six members was created and a Transition Coach was hired to guide us through the immediate need to establish a structure that included creating a Constitution and Bylaws, a Leadership Ministry Team, and the Transition Team moving into Search Committee mode. All this was completed by a dedicated group of lay members. Because our congregation is still in the first phase of growth, our vision for a part-time pastor includes someone with community-building skills and the ability to connect to the current downtown population. We seek an inclusive pastor capable of providing leadership for weekly worship and any programs of the church (in partnership with lay leaders and volunteers) that assures a rewarding experience to all who visit and attend Amistad Chapel UCC.

Staff comments: Amistad United Church of Christ is a new church start of the Western Reserve Association of the Ohio Conference. The church underwent a visioning process with a transition coach to assist them in re-defining themselves. Amistad, while housed at the office of the national setting of the UCC, is an independent urban congregation poised to develop ministries in the redeveloping area of downtown Cleveland. They seek leadership to assist them in focusing on their urban community through community connections, outreach, service and worship. This vibrant progressive community of faith is ready to be THE downtown UCC church. The pastor who serves here will have the opportunity to lead in new ways. This will be an exciting community of faith to serve and grow.

INSITE #1: POPULATION AND HOUSEHOLD TRENDSPopulation: Households:The estimated 2016 population within the study area is 80,400. The2021 projection would see the area remain stable at -218 to a totalpopulation of 80,182. The population within the study area isgrowing somewhat slower than the statewide growth rate. While thestudy area is projected to decline by -0.3% in the next five      years,the state is projected to remain stable at 0.2%. The study area’sestimated average change rate is -0.1%.

The households within the community are growing faster than thepopulation, thus the average population per household in 2010 was2.42 but by 2021 it is projected to be 2.36. Compare this to thestatewide average which for the current year is estimated at 2.50persons per household.

Population Per Household Family Households:Population per Household: The relationship between population andhouseholds provides a hint about how the community is changing.When population grows faster than households, it suggests anincrease in the persons per household. This can only happen whenmore persons are added either by birth or     other process such asyoung adults in multiple roommate households or young adultsreturning to live with parents. In some communities this can occurwhen multiple families live in the same dwelling unit.

Family households provide an additional hint about the changingdynamics of a community. If family household growth followspopulation growth, then it would be reasonable to assume that theincreasing population per household comes from additional children.However, within the study area, this is not the case. Family householdsare not growing as fast as the population, suggesting the growth may bethe result of growth of non-family adult households.

INSITE #3: AGE TRENDSA community’s age structure and how it is changing is an importantpart of its story. Overall, the American Population has been aging asthe Baby Boomers progress through each phase  of life. This has beenabetted by episodes of declining live births. However this picturemay particularize differently from community to community. Thereare communities in the US where the average age is lower than someothers. In other cases, there is a clear shift toward senior years asthe Boomers enter their retirement years. 

The Age Trend Insite explores two variables: Average age and Phase ofLife.Average Age Trends provides five important snapshots of acommunity from five data points; the 2000 census, the last census,the current year estimate, the five year projection and the ten yearforecast. These five numbers will indicate the aging direction of acommunity.The Phase of Life Trends breaks the population into seven life phasesthat the population passes through in its life time.

INSITE #5: HOUSEHOLD AND FAMILY INCOME TRENDSAVERAGE HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND PER CAPITA INCOME

Average Household Income and Per Capita Income indicate the levelof financial resources within a community. Average Householdincome reflects the average income for each household, whetherfamily or non-family.

Per Capita Income is a measure of the average income of all personswithin a household. For family households, this would include allchildren. It does not mean that each person actually contributes to theaverage income from work. It is calculated by dividing the aggregatehousehold income by the population.

In this study area, the estimated current year average householdincome is $41,251. The average household income is projected  togrow by 8.7%  to $44,822.

The estimated per capita income for the current year is $17,274. ThePer Capita Income is projected to grow by 9.9% to $18,989.

INSITE #5: HOUSEHOLD AND FAMILY INCOME TRENDS (continued)FAMILY INCOME

Family income is a sub-set of household income. It excludes non-family households. Family households include two or more personswho are related and living in the same dwelling unit. Children aremore likely to live in family households. Non-family households arehouseholds in which two or more persons live in the same dwellingunit but are unrelated.

The number of families with annual incomes above $100,000 isprojected to grow over the next five years. For the current year, it isestimated that 8.1% of all family incomes exceed $100,000 per year. Infive years that number is projected to be 8.3%.

INSITE #6: HOUSEHOLDS AND CHILDREN TRENDSDiversity of child rearing environments is increasing along with   themany other types of growing diversity in the US. To understand this,we begin with the types of households that exist in a community.There are…

The concern of this analysis is family households with children under18. Of the types of family households with children there are…

• family households with children under 18  • Married couple families• family households without children under 18  • Single parent families (father or mother)

These two are reported for the study area in the table below.

INSITE #7: MARITAL STATUS TRENDSMARITAL STATUS BY TYPE

Population by Marital Status considers the number andpercentage of persons 15 years of age and greater by theircurrent marital status. Both trend information as well as acomparison to the study area’s state marital status typesprovides two different views of this social reality.

Marital types reported include..• Never Married (Singles)• Currently Married• Divorced• Separated• Widowed

In this community, the current year estimate of marital statusreveals a community of adults less likely to be married than thestate average for adults. The percentage single, never married inthe study area is higher than the state average for adults 15 yearsand older. Divorce is more prevalent than the state wide average.

The graph to the right illustrates the marital status comparison ofthe study area to the state . Bars above the 0% point line indicatea marital status type that is more prevalent than the state averagewhile bars below the 0% are below the state average. The lengthof the bars represent the strength of the difference. They are notpercentages.

MARITAL STATUS BY FEMALE AND MALE

Who is more likely to be unmarried, women or men in thiscommunity? Consider these findings about this study area:

Women 15 years and older are less likely to be single, nevermarried than men.

Women 15 years and older are more likely to be divorced than men. Women 15 years and older are more likely to be widowed thanmen.

INSITE #8: ADULT EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTThe level of educational attainment of a community’s adultpopulation is an important indicator of its opportunities andchallenges. This analysis will look at the Adult EducationalAttainment from three perspectives

First, it looks to see if the level of educational attainment for adultsis rising or not. Second, it compares the level of attainment to thatof the state of OHIO. (If this is a state report, the comparison will beto itself.) Finally, the table provides the percentages from 2010.

EDUCATIONAL LEVEL ATTAINMENT CHANGE

The educational attainment level of adults has declined over thepast few years. It is projected to rise over the next five years by1.1%.

INSITE #9: POPULATION BY EMPLOYMENTLike educational attainment, an analysis of a community by itsemployment types and categories provides an important “insite”into its socio-economics. This analysis looks at two factors.

First is a report of the employed population 16 and over by thetraditional “blue collar” and “white collar” occupations and comparesthese to the state. Second, it looks at the community by the sevenstandard census bureau occupations and compares them to thestate.

INSITE #10: MOSAIC SegmentsMosaic is a geo-demographic segmentation system developed byand for marketers. Instead of looking at individual demographicvariables, a segmentation system clusters households intogroups with multiple common characteristics. Demographicvariables that generally cluster together would include income,educational levels, presence of children and occupations amongothers.

This database is developed by Experian. Some find the informationhelpful because it presents a multi-dimensional view of acommunity.In the report below, the top 15 Mosaic Segments of the study areaare provided. (If less than 15, rows will be blank.)

INSITE #11: CHARITABLE GIVING PRACTICESCharitable giving practices data provide three perspectives aboutgiving in the study area. First, they indicate how extensive givingis within a study area by showing the percentage of householdsthat are likely to contribute $200 or more dollars per year tocharitable causes.

Interpreting the Table

As the table is studied look at two factors; the number of people orhouseholds and the index. The first will provide a sense of thenumber strength in the study area. The second shows how giving toone of the 10 charitable targets compares to the state. Any “index”over 100 means the study area gives more to a charitable targetthan is true for the state as a whole.

Second, they project the direction of giving. Giving data isprovided across 10 sectors of charity giving. Each communityhas its own distinctive pattern.

Finally, they show how the study area gives across the 10sectors in comparison to the state of OHIO. An area maycontribute modestly to a charitable sector in terms of actualprojected households but it may be well above the state-wideaverage for such giving.

To make the interpretation of this easier, the following table issorted by Index. However, be sure to look at the “% of Households”column. A particular charitable sector may have a low index butstill a larger percentage than some other of the 10 sectorsrepresented here.
