Church Pastor Job Description
Overview
First Baptist Church (FBC) is located in a rural setting, 30 miles east of Cincinnati, Ohio. Following the retirement of our pastor after 11 years of service, we are seeking a dedicated replacement to continue the mission of sharing the Gospel with a community where many do not regularly attend church. A significant portion of the community consists of individuals who once attended local churches but have since drifted from the faith.
Our Sunday morning services follow a blended worship style, combining contemporary Christian songs and traditional hymns with sermons that are relevant, practical, and biblically centered. FBC is affiliated with the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC), which maintains uniform standards of theology and doctrine among member churches. However, FBC operates independently and is not subject to GARBC governance.
Minimum Job Responsibilities
  • Preach and Lead Worship: Develop and deliver weekly sermons and facilitate meaningful worship experiences. Provide devotionals for Wednesday night prayer meetings.
  • Disciple and Support Members: Actively build relationships with church members to disciple, equip, support, and encourage them in their faith.
  • Minister in Crisis: Serve and minister to individuals during times of crisis, offering spiritual and emotional support.
  • Provide Counseling: Offer counseling support to church members as needed.
  • Support Missions: Stay informed about the work of the missions committee and provide advice and encouragement.
  • Manage Finances: Prepare the annual budget and present it to the Advisory Board.
  • Perform Ceremonies: Conduct baptisms, weddings, and funerals.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Faith and Character: Demonstrate a clear love for Jesus Christ, reflected in both personal life and ministry work.
  • Education and Ordination: Preferably a Baptist-ordained minister with a Master's in Divinity from a GARBC-accredited university or equivalent.
  • Experience: Meaningful pastoral experience is preferred.
  • Biblical Standards: Exemplify the biblical qualifications outlined in 1 Timothy 3:1-10, Titus 1:5-16, and 1 Peter 5:1-2.
  • Theological Communication: Show a demonstrated ability to articulate biblical theology in a clear, understandable, and applicable manner for church members.
  • Leadership Skills: Be a servant leader with strong leadership abilities, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and a collaborative team mindset.
