Description

Man After God’s Own Heart

We have a long history of faithful ministers who have shepherded our flock of believers since 1908, and we are eagerly anticipating the arrival of our future pastor. First and foremost, this person must be a man after God’s own heart and have a deep, abiding relationship with Him. In his everyday life, he must serve as a model for us on how to love and serve God faithfully. He will have a passion for not only leading others to Christ, but also for making them disciples of Christ.

Scripture Minded

Our new pastor must believe that all Scripture is God-breathed; therefore it is inerrant, infallible and has authority over us. He will be well-versed in Scripture, embrace the truth that is found within, and articulately expound on it during Sunday morning worship services. In addition, he will be able to lead Bible studies, teach adult Sunday School classes, and minister to the needs of the congregation, which includes Biblical counseling. To protect us from false teachers, he will know theology well, in order that we will not be led astray, but stay on the path of righteousness.

Mission Minded

Presently we support eight missionaries and organizations throughout the world. We believe in more than simply evangelizing, but also support the building of churches in formerly unreached people groups, and making disciples. Therefore, our ideal pastor will foster a love of missions, both locally and globally.

.

Church Governance Structure

We have a congregational model of governance which consists of four main boards: Deacons, Missions, Trustees, and Christian Education. All those serving on these are members of the church. Two meetings (fall and spring) are held in which we review the various ministries and finances of the church and vote on new business. We employ a part-time organist, secretary and custodian. Our new pastor will provide support and encouragement to each of these boards.
