Millbury, Ohio
Eastminster United Presbyterian Church (EUPC) and St. Peter’s United Church of Christ (SPUCC) are seeking a candidate for the Transitional Pastor until an installed pastor has been called. During the transition period this individual will help guide both congregations through the process of identifying a pastor, provide spiritual nurturing of the members of the two congregations, help the congregations focus on God’s purpose for ministering to the people of their respective communities/families, and assist in discerning God’s plan for the future of the “marriage” between the two congregations.
EUPC and SPUCC entered into a shared ministry agreement in 2021 under the leadership of our previous pastor. The pastor was responsible for separate worship services at each church located approximately seven miles apart. During summer months, June through August, we have one combined service as well as during Lent, Easter, and Christmas. Additionally, we join together for other fellowship and community events.
EUPC has recently sold their building. A shared use (nesting) agreement has been prepared and is in the process of being implemented. At this time, it is anticipated that two separate services will continue after relocation.
St. Peter’s United Church of Christ (SPUCC) is located in Millbury, Ohio. Our roots are traced to the former Evangelical/Reformed church prior to the formation of the United Church of Christ in 1957. In October 2025 we will be celebrating our 150th anniversary serving the Millbury/Lake Township and surrounding communities. We currently have an active membership of 41 individuals with an average of 24 adult worshippers on Sunday. Supporting functions of the church are performed by its members on a volunteer basis.
SPUCC is proud of our active community involvement. Community involvement includes hosting weekly AA meetings for 41 years, community garden, use of our park facilities for hosting community activities (Trick or Trunk and Easter Egg hunt), as well as other local and global missions we support.
