We are looking for a compassionate and dedicated Pastor to lead and nurture our congregation through spiritual guidance, community engagement, and religious services. The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator, a thoughtful counselor, and a committed servant leader who can inspire faith and foster a sense of belonging among church members.
As a Pastor, you will be responsible for preparing and delivering weekly sermons, leading worship services, and providing pastoral care to individuals and families. You will also oversee church operations, collaborate with church staff and volunteers, and engage with the broader community to promote the church’s mission and values.
The successful candidate will have a deep understanding of scripture, theology, and pastoral care, as well as the ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. You should be comfortable officiating at weddings, funerals, baptisms, and other religious ceremonies, and be available to provide spiritual support during times of crisis or need.
In addition to spiritual leadership, the Pastor will play a key role in strategic planning, community outreach, and church growth initiatives. You will work closely with the church board and ministry leaders to develop programs that meet the spiritual, educational, and social needs of the congregation.
We are seeking someone who is not only a gifted preacher and teacher but also a compassionate listener and a visionary leader. If you are passionate about serving others, building community, and sharing the message of faith, we invite you to apply for this meaningful and impactful role.
