Associate Pastor

Who We Are

Founded in 1869 by followers of Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone, Chaplin Christian Church has stood as a bastion of the faith in rural Nelson County, Kentucky for over one hundred fifty years. (Tradition holds that Moses Lard was the keynote speaker for our dedication in 1869) Our congregation is a tightly-knit flock bound together by traditional values and a focus on the family unit.

Song services feature instrumentation and a selection of songs from both hymnals and contemporary sources. Sermons delivered from the pulpit at Chaplin Christian Church are expected to honor and propagate the Restoration Movement beliefs and principles that we were founded on.

We are led by a supportive, established board of elders and deacons with decades of church leadership experience. The board is governed by a set of bylaws, with all positions put to an annual vote.

· Applicants will be subjected to a background check.

Preference will be given to candidates open to transitioning to a full-time position with the guidance of the senior minister.

Compensation

In addition to a supplemental base pay of $300 per week, compensation is directly tied to key metrics indicative of the health and efficacy of the church. As we grow, so will the position's salary.
