The Lead Pastor will serve as the primary spiritual leader, preacher, and undershepherd of our congregation on a full-time basis.

Spiritual Character: Must meet the biblical qualifications outlined in 1Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9

Doctrinal Alignment: Full agreement with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000

Education: A degree in Biblical Studies, Theology, or Ministry from a recognized Baptist seminary or college is preferred, but equivalent ministry experience will be highly valued.

Experience: Previous experience as a pastor, assistant pastor, or interim pastor in a small or mid-sized congregation is preferred.

Heart for Small Church: A visible passion for a small-church dynamic where everyone knows your name.
