About Our Church
Established in 1885, we are a Christ-centered, Bible-teaching rural church committed to helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, live out their faith daily, and impact our community.
We value authentic relationships, practical biblical teaching, and a culture of humility, accountability, and spiritual growth. As a church, we desire to be grounded in truth while actively engaging people of all ages and life stages.
Our Beliefs
We believe the Bible is the inspired and authoritative Word of God and the foundation for all teaching and life. We believe salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
We affirm the Baptist Faith & Message 2000.
The ideal candidate will:
- Faithfully and clearly teach Scripture
- Call people to respond to the Gospel
- Encourage spiritual growth and discipleship
- Uphold a high view of both God’s sovereignty and human responsibility
We also affirm biblical teaching regarding:
- The value and identity of every person as created by God
- Gender as established by God at birth
- Marriage as the covenant union between one man and one woman
In alignment with Scripture, we believe the role of Lead Pastor is reserved for qualified men who meet biblical standards of character and leadership.
Position Overview
The Lead Pastor will provide spiritual leadership through preaching, teaching, discipleship, and shepherding the congregation. This role requires a Lead Pastor who can both faithfully teach God’s Word and equip others to actively live it out.
We value long-term pastoral leadership and seek someone who desires to plant roots, build meaningful relationships, and faithfully shepherd our congregation over time. This is not intended to be a short-term assignment, but an opportunity for lasting ministry and impact.
We are open to both full-time and bi-vocational candidates; however, we believe a bi-vocational model may best support our current season and future ministry goals.
