Senior Pastor Agawam Church of the Bible Agawam, MA Category: Senior Pastor Posted on: November 21, 2009
Job Description:
The senior pastor has primary responsibility for adult teaching in the church, which includes Sunday morning preaching, Sunday morning adult discussion/classes on a rotating basis with the other elders, and probably leading a mid-week group out of the home that would include a teaching element. The pastor is responsible for coordinating and running bi-monthly elders meetings, and is to take the lead in discipleship and equipping the body for ministry. There is not currently any paid staff for the office, so there are some administrative tasks that fall to the pastor.
Agawam is a largely white, middle class suburb of Springfield. The congregation is composed mostly of families with teenagers, with Sunday attendance at roughly 40 adults and 40 children. ACB has a contemporary worship style, and a casual atmosphere. For most of the 17 years since the church was planted, we have met in a junior high building. The characteristics of the church that visitors seem to comment on most often are our commitment to the Bible, our caring for people, and our providing an atmosphere of grace.
In addition to emailing your resume, please consider including up to a page briefly describing your philosophy of ministry and your strengths or gifts.
