Regional Minister Search

The Christian Church in Nebraska is in the process of searching for its next Regional Minister.

The Regional Executive Search Committee — made up of clergy and lay leaders from across the region — is guiding this process with care, prayer, and deep commitment to the future of Nebraska Disciples. We are grateful for the leadership of our search partner, Rev. Dr. Don Gillett, Regional Minister of the Christian Church in Kentucky, who is walking alongside us.

The Regional Minister Profile and Position Description are available for download. Candidates interested in this position are invited to review those materials and follow the search and call process outlined below.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should submit a Letter of Interest to Search Committee Chair Rev. Kerry O’Bryant, by email or postal mail, no later than July 31, 2026.

Candidates should also ensure that they have updated their Ministerial Profile through Search and Call (Disciples Home Missions).
