Position Overview
The Lead Pastor will serve as the primary spiritual leader, preacher, teacher, and shepherd of Archer's Chapel Church. This role calls for a seasoned, relational pastor who can faithfully preach Scripture, care for the congregation, develop leaders, strengthen ministry systems, and help the church grow in its outreach to the surrounding community.
Archer's Chapel is seeking a pastor who is not only a strong preacher, but also a true shepherd - someone who is present with people, attentive to the needs of the congregation, comfortable visiting members and shut-ins, and able to help people feel known, loved, and spiritually cared for.
This is a meaningful opportunity for a leader who values a loving rural church context, appreciates a committee-oriented leadership structure, and can lead with humility, patience, conviction, and relational wisdom.

  • Prepare sermons that are biblically grounded, engaging, and responsive to the life and needs of the congregation.
Pastoral Care and Shepherding
  • Provide consistent pastoral care for members across all stages of life, from young families to older adults.
  • Visit church members, shut-ins, those in the hospital, and individuals or families facing seasons of need.
  • Build trust through regular presence, approachability, follow-through, and genuine care.
  • Provide pastoral guidance, prayer, counsel, and encouragement as appropriate.
Church Leadership and Ministry Development
  • Lead with humility and wisdom within Archer's Chapel's committee-based structure.
  • Work collaboratively with church leaders and ministry teams.
  • Help identify, encourage, and develop people for meaningful service in the church.
  • Strengthen ministry systems and guide volunteers into areas where their gifts can serve the mission of the church.
  • Provide steady spiritual leadership while honoring the church's culture, history, and shared decision-making process.
Youth, Family, and Community Engagement
  • Prioritize the spiritual formation of the next generation as a key area of church health and growth.
  • Help strengthen ministry to teenagers and young families.
  • Support and encourage existing children's ministry efforts, including Kids Church.
  • Help the church grow in outreach to the surrounding community.
  • Be present and approachable locally, building relationships beyond the walls of the church.
  • Encourage the congregation to live on mission in homes, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and daily life.
Discipleship and Congregational Life
  • Help people grow as disciples of Jesus through Scripture, prayer, worship, community, and service.
  • Encourage Sunday School, small groups, and other relational discipleship environments.
  • Support a church culture marked by love, generosity, biblical conviction, and care for one another.
  • Help the church move forward with unity, spiritual maturity, and shared purpose.
