About Archer's Chapel Church
Archer's Chapel Church is a warm, family-oriented congregation located in the Frog Jump community near Halls, Tennessee. With deep roots in the community and a church family that spans generations, Archer's Chapel is known for being loving, giving, and committed to caring for one another.
Our mission is simple and meaningful: Loving People to Life in Christ. We want to help people encounter Jesus, grow in His Word, build genuine Christian community, and live sent into the world around them. Archer's Chapel describes this discipleship journey through three rhythms: Active in Knowing, Connected in Growing, and Commissioned in Going.
Archer's Chapel is an independent, Bible-believing church with a heart for clear biblical teaching, authentic relationships, and local impact.
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.
Key Responsibilities
Preaching, Teaching, and Worship Leadership
  • Preach and teach Scripture faithfully, clearly, and with practical application for everyday life.
  • Lead Sunday worship services with spiritual maturity, preparation, and pastoral presence.
  • Communicate the gospel with conviction and maintain a clear heart for salvation, invitation, and helping people respond to Christ.
  • 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.

What Archer's Chapel Is Looking For
The ideal candidate will be:
  • A mature follower of Jesus with strong character, humility, integrity, and a clear pastoral calling.
  • A faithful preacher and teacher who loves God's Word.
  • A relational shepherd who genuinely cares for people across generations.
  • A pastor with previous ministry leadership experience - ideally including prior experience as a lead or senior pastor.
  • A person with a heart for youth, young families, older adults, and the broader community.
  • A steady, trustworthy leader who can help develop people, strengthen ministry, and guide the church forward.
  • A pastor who is comfortable in a rural, family-oriented community and can connect naturally with people in that context.
Theology and Ministry Alignment
Archer's Chapel is seeking a pastor who aligns with the church's biblical convictions and ministry practices, including:
  • Commitment to the authority of Scripture and historic Christian faith.
  • Belief in salvation through Jesus Christ.
  • Baptism by immersion after repentance and faith in Christ.
  • Communion as the Lord's Table, open to those who are in Christ.
  • A traditional biblical understanding of marriage.
  • A complementarian preference for male pastoral leadership while affirming women serving in other ministry and teaching roles.
  • A heart for evangelism, discipleship, and helping people grow in grace.
Education and Experience
Preferred qualifications include:
  • Previous ministry experience, ideally as a lead/senior pastor
  • A bachelor's degree required. Seminary training or a Master of Divinity preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to preach and teach Scripture faithfully.
  • Experience providing pastoral care, visitation, and congregational leadership.
  • Ability to develop volunteers and strengthen ministry teams.
