What are the responsibilities and job description for the Lead pastor position at First baptist church canton ny?
LEAD PASTOR POSITION AVAILABLE First Baptist Church — Canton, NY Are you a Bible-believing Baptist who loves Jesus, loves people, and isn’t afraid of a church family that includes both toddlers and people who remember when Sunday school was actually on Sunday morning? First Baptist Church in Canton, NY is seeking a Lead Pastor to help us grow, strengthen, and revitalize our congregation while faithfully preaching and teaching the Word of God. Who We're Looking For: Someone who loves kids. Not just the well-behaved ones. We mean all of them. The wigglers. The question-askers. The snack-seekers. The ones who somehow need to use the bathroom five minutes into the sermon. Someone who wants to grow a church. We're not looking for someone who simply wants to maintain the status quo. We want a pastor with vision, energy, and a heart for reaching new families, discipling believers, welcoming newcomers, and breathing fresh life into our congregation. Someone who loves our aging congregation, too. We aren't interested in choosing between generations. We want someone who can sit with a lifelong church member, listen to their stories, value their wisdom, and then turn around and get down on the floor with a preschooler. Someone who can preach the Bible. We're looking for a Bible-believing Baptist who takes Scripture seriously, preaches Jesus faithfully, and isn't afraid to say what the Bible says—even when it's challenging. We Hope You Are: ✔ A solid Bible teacher and preacher ✔ Passionate about reaching the next generation ✔ Comfortable ministering to people of all ages ✔ A people person who can laugh, listen, encourage, and occasionally survive a church potluck ✔ Interested in evangelism, discipleship, and community outreach ✔ Ready to help build bridges between generations ✔ Willing to roll up your sleeves and be part of the church—not simply stand behind the pulpit ✔ Someone who believes the church should be a place where people meet Jesus, grow in faith, and actually want to come back And Just So We're Clear… We're not looking for a celebrity pastor. We're not looking for someone with a perfect résumé. We're looking for a shepherd. Someone who can preach on Sunday, visit someone on Tuesday, encourage a teenager on Wednesday, laugh with a group of seniors on Thursday, and still remember that ministry is ultimately about people—not programs. If you love God's Word, love people, love Jesus, and believe the best days of a church don't have to be behind it… We'd love to hear from you. First Baptist Church Canton, New York Come help us build something worth handing to the next generation. And yes… we really do have kids.
