Pastor

Our lively, diverse village with just under 5,600 inhabitants is advertised on the Erlenbach website as "unique on Lake Zurich." The proximity to the city of Zurich and the optimal transport connections as well as a great local recreation area make Erlenbach a very attractive place to live. We are an active church community with about 1,600 members, consider ourselves theologically liberal and culturally open, and are committed to sustainable development.

As a complement to the recently newly filled pastoral position (70-80%), we are looking for a second pastor for 40-50% employment starting January 1, 2026, or by arrangement.

What we wish for

• You are innovative, open, and set new accents.
• You know what moves younger people and can relate social trends and developments to Christian thought.
• You meet people cheerfully, warmly, and at eye level.
• You are interested in the different living environments in Erlenbach and maintain exchange with the school, clubs, and the political community.

What you can achieve

• Fostering the village community through committed networking
• Further development of offers for young and old
• General pastoral duties

What we offer you

• A motivated and committed team
• A church council with great interest in a future-oriented development of the church community
• Professional public relations
• A beautiful neo-Gothic church directly on the lake

We look forward to receiving your application by November 30, 2025, at bewerbung@ref-erlenbach.ch .
