Is a dedicated, committed servant called by God to preach His Word.

Our Next Pastor:
Possesses demonstrated leadership skills with churches of a size that require multiple staff and lay leaders.
Is able to attract, retain, inspire, and guide staff and lay leaders to provide high- quality programs.
Is experienced in energizing church members to carry out the education, mission, and outreach programs that the congregation itself has identified as priorities.
A pastor that is full of the Holy Spirit, Committed to preaching and teaching the Gospel. Someone capable of delivering sound spiritual counseling, and advising, according to the Word of God. Most of all they must live according to God’s Word, they must serve as examples for the congregation and community. Their spouse and children must be keepers of the faith. The next pastor should be patient, humble and poses a loving persona. Not only must they adhere to the qualifications of a pastor but have a genuine love and understanding of the Gospel, not looking at teaching and preaching as a job but an opportunity to serve God.
