Re: Request for Resumes for Full-time Pastor Position FBC Garrison, a Southern Baptist Church aligned with SBTC, is currently receiving resumes for the position of Pastor (full-time). Garrison is a rural community in East Texas. The school district includes an elementary school, middle school, and a 2-A high school. Stephen F. Austin State University is located only 24 miles away in nearby Nacogdoches. The current worship attendance is 80-100 on Sunday morning. The music style is slightly blended.

Applicants must meet the Biblical qualifications of 1 Timothy 3:1-7.
