The GERMANTOWN FIRST CHURCH OF GOD and the BLUE MOUNTAIN CHURCH OF GOD have joined together in seeking a full-time Senior Pastor. Together we can offer more to a pastor than we could separately.

Both churches have rich histories, but we are looking forward. Located about five miles apart, near the Maryland/Pennsylvania state line with three counties within close proximity, our location offers tremendous opportunities for growth. This includes the revitalization of near-by Fort Ritchie, which is currently underway.

Both churches have upgraded their facilities and Germantown has a parsonage and two separate offices – one for the Pastor and one that can be used by an Administrative Assistant.

Both churches are steeped in tradition as we look for a Pastor with a shepherd’s temperament - a servant-leader with a mentoring attitude. A Pastor that is able to cast a Holy Spirit led vision for our churches, and then motivate the body to follow that vision. A Pastor that is able to discern and train individuals spiritually to help them reach their God-given potential. A Pastor who sees visitation as vital to our ministry, as several of our congregation are home bound or otherwise unable to physically attend services. Our new pastor would preach at both services every week.

Our church families are warm and welcoming. The vision for our church includes a need to develop our children’s, youth, and young adult ministries. Still, our goal is to provide community outreach and support for all ages. We want our Pastor to provide strong Biblical and practical counseling as well as the ability to make referrals as needed to qualified professional counselors.

We are seeking God’s Choice. The candidate seeking to serve would need to be licensed/ordained, and be approved for ministry by the Eastern Regional Conference of the Churches of God General Conference. If you prayerfully feel God’s leading in our direction, please send your current resume with a cover letter sharing your personal testimony and calling to the ministry.
