We desire him to have strong pulpit skills in exegetical and expository preaching and to be able to communicate the Bible clearly and practically. His primary responsibilities include providing spiritual leadership to the church through preaching, teaching, offering pastoral care and making visits as needed (see full job description for more details). A strong candidate should have a bachelor’s degree or above from a Bible college or theological seminary. At least five years of previous experience in a lead pastor role is preferred. 

At least five years of previous experience in a lead pastor role is preferred. The senior pastor must endorse the constitutions and bylaws of both Northwest Community Church and the Berean Fellowship of Churches (BFC) and should attest to the Full Doctrinal Statement of Northwest Community Church.

Who We Are 

 

Affiliated with the Berean Fellowship of Churches, Northwest Community Church was founded in 1988 with a passion for reaching northwest Lancaster County (Nebraska) and the surrounding area with the Gospel of Christ while making disciples through Biblical instruction. 


Our current staff includes a part-time Care & Connections Pastor, a full-time Youth Pastor and a secretary. 

Nearly 90 families call NCC home. With just over 100 members, the church averages between 170-185 most Sunday mornings with nearly 100 attending Sunday school on a weekly basis.

NCC has active women’s and men’s ministries. We also have a number of growth groups that meet regularly. 

NCC supports eight missionary families that are boldly sharing God’s truth globally and domestically. 

Where We Are

The village of Malcolm, located about 10 miles northwest of Nebraska’s capital city has a population of 480. The village is surrounded by farms and acreages and the Branched Oak Lake state recreation area just three miles to the north. As a bedroom community to Lincoln, most of Malcolm’s residents, if not farmers or employees of the school district, commute to Lincoln for work. The Pre-K through high school enrollment of Malcolm Public Schools is around 640 students. The average class size is between 50-55 students.
