Pastor, Yoked Ministry

Cann Memorial Presbyterian Church in Elizabeth City and First Presbyterian Church in Edenton, in 2024, laid the foundation as a yoked ministry. We are seeking enthusiastic leadership to continue to strengthen, nurture and guide our congregations along with our sessions. Our desire would be for a minister with a vision for our yoked ministry which needs not only to survive but thrive. The candidate would preach two Sundays in Elizabeth City and two Sundays in Edenton. The 5th Sunday would be determined by the Worship Committee. The video Sunday’s scripture and sermon would be recorded midweek and viewed on our newly installed equipment. The rest of the Service would be conducted by lay readers. Office hours are shared with visitation, counseling, etc. as needed.
 
Nestled along the waters of the Albemarle Sound, Elizabeth City and Edenton embody the charm and resilience of coastal North Carolina, where history whispers through centuries-old oak trees and brick lined streets. Elizabeth City, (Harbor of Hospitality) hums with the energy of a waterfront town, where boats bob along the Pasquotank River and neighbors greet each other like family. Just down the road, Edenton stands as a picturesque gem, its stately homes and white steeple churches reflecting the grace of a town deeply rooted in tradition. In both communities, faith weaves through daily life, and in the heart of each historic downtown, two churches stand as beacons of worship, service, and enduring community spirit.
