Pastor
Job Description
We are a 140 year-old multi-generational fellowship taking part in each other’s lives as brothers and sisters in Christ. We value relationship above institutional or organizational busyness. We believe that our families are His irreplaceable means of sharing His life with those around us. We are involved in each other’s lives, to support and encourage each other in Christ.
We are seeking a full-time pastor who has a deep appreciation and knowledge of the Bible.
- His main duties center around worship leading, preaching, teaching and discipling.
- We seek a pastor who has exceptional personal integrity and humility; in fact, we value godly character and relationships over the usual focus on skills and tasks.
- We seek a pastor who has experience in building/mentoring godly families so that both parents and children are lovers and followers of Jesus.
- As a small church, the members fulfill most administrative duties; we want our pastor to be in our living rooms and out in our community rather than in an office.
About this Church
We are a 140 year old multi-generational congregation, located in Gilbert, Iowa, a farming and suburban community four miles north of Ames, Iowa, and Iowa State University. Presently, we have 70+ attendees. We are devoted followers of Jesus, worshiping Him as our Lord and Savior and joyfully obeying all that He commanded us to do.
As His followers, we are devoted to learning and following Him on His terms. We place a very high emphasis on studying the Bible, to fully understand His plan for the world, our lives and those around us. We practice joyful worship around word, song and prayer. During the week, we gather for study, fellowship and prayer.
We are not big. We are not loud. We are not trending. We are simply His people living His life with one another and with others.
