The Big Picture

North Scott Baptist Church (northscottbaptist.com) is seeking a Pastor who will preach the Word of God and shepherd the Body of Christ.

Requirements

Theology of Ministry
The theme of ministering is throughout the Scriptures. There are functional differences between apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors and the general body of disciples, but the concept of the one body was and is the important image of the church. There is the call of God to the individual to be "set apart" as a pastor, and there is the validating corporate call of a specific church to the individual to serve in that designated position to and with that congregation. Following the Biblical pattern from Timothy, Titus and 1Peter, pastors are preachers, teachers, overseers, leaders, under-shepherds and servants for our Lord Jesus Christ.


The North Scott Baptist Church believes that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the inerrant Word of God, and we accept them and them only as final authority in all matters of private morals, church government and religious belief and practice. With these thoughts in mind, the following are our expectations regarding the duties of our pastor.
