Description


First EPC Anna is seeking a pastor who is not only a strong visionary but can impart a renewed vision to the congregation in his first year with us.


We prefer that this candidate has experience as a Senior Pastor as well as experience in growing a church.


He should have strong Biblical knowledge which plays out in sermons which are spiritually nourishing while applicable to everyday life.


EPC Anna has been through some rocky times, including the general malaise which accompanied the pandemic of recent years. However, though the attendance has stayed down, the spirit has not. We are, as we learned from

a recent congregational survey, poised for change. We seek a leader whom we can follow in impacting our community for Christ.

Salary: $30K-$59K

  • A committed follower of Jesus Christ, with integrity and transparency, who sets a compassionate example as the head of his own family, discerning and prayerful in his conduct.
  • A caring shepherd, compassionate counselor, by nature unbiased, amicable, and a listener, with a servant’s heart to visit members in their homes, hospital, or nursing homes.
  • A clear communicator of God’s inerrant Word, teaching and guiding the congregation toward maturity as Christians who live out the great commission and share God’s Word.
  • Capable of moving us toward our goals as a church.
  • A person who will work as a team player, and is involved in various activities (i.e. outreach, evangelism, senior and adult membership), but also with an orientation toward revitalizing our youth and children’s ministries.
  • Good with organizing and delegating tasks, familiar with finances, a leader and mentor capable of equipping members, and executing the church’s goals.
