Kenbridge Baptist Church is seeking a full-time English-speaking pastor with 6-10 years of experience (Committee will consider a bi-vocational pastor).  A college degree and some seminary training are preferred.

Person should be an effective speaker who is comfortable with traditional worship and have a strong commitment to developing the spiritual lives of our congregation and our community.  Key elements to our ministry are outreach, missions and developing a program for youth and children.  The majority of our congregation believes that the Bible teaches:  “Christ offers the gift of salvation to all.  We witness to everyone, knowing that anyone can potentially be saved if he or she will only confess to being a sinner, repent and trust in Jesus.  Each person decides whether or not to trust in Christ for salvation.”  Our church’s biblical understanding of pastoral leadership is as follows:  While serving as the spiritual leader of the church, the pastor should expect the congregation as a whole to retain much responsibility for considering and voting on significant church matters in church-wide business meetings and through committees elected by the congregation.  Our church believes that women are accepted into all leadership positions in the church.  Although we are seeking a full-time pastor, we will also consider a bi-vocational candidate.

The approximate salary for this position is between $35,000 and $45,000 (including Social Security Allowance) Note:  In discussing the salary “package”, individual may use part of it for other benefits as they see fit.
