Pastor - Part Time

A Church with Strong Potential for Revitalization

Situated in one of Baltimore’s most vibrant and stable neighborhoods, our historic congregation is uniquely positioned for growth and renewed community impact. With significant neighborhood redevelopment underway, including the renovation of the former Under Armour headquarters into a school surrounding our campus—this is a pivotal moment in our church’s history.

We are seeking an energetic, spiritually grounded, and community-minded part-time pastor who is ready to lead boldly, think creatively, and help shape the next chapter of our congregation.

Leadership Vision: Courageous and Forward-Looking

We are looking for a pastor who embraces an entrepreneurial opportunity - someone who leads with initiative, and possesses the creativity to see new possibility.

This is not a maintenance role. It is an opportunity to:

• Re-imagine and rebuild a congregation for the future
• Re-engage the surrounding community
• Strengthen congregational vitality
• Build partnerships with neighborhood organizations and institutions
• Increase visibility and relevance within Locust Point

Our congregation is supportive, committed, and eager to collaborate with pastoral leadership in pursuing growth and renewed mission impact.

Position Overview

• Lead a one-hour Sunday worship service
• Provide pastoral care, including weddings, funerals, and congregational support as needed
• Work collaboratively with church leadership to guide spiritual and missional direction
• Develop and implement strategies for meaningful community engagement
• Identify and pursue opportunities for congregational growth and outreach

Compensation

$18,000 annually, with opportunity for salary growth aligned with congregational development, attendance growth, and expanded ministry impact.

Qualifications

Preference given to:

• Graduate of an accredited seminary or divinity school
• Ordained, or eligible for ordination, in a Protestant Christian denomination
• Affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA) or the United Church of Christ
• Demonstrated ability to:
• Launch and communicate vision
• Engage a local community
• Lead with initiative and energy
• Build relationships beyond the church walls

We particularly welcome candidates who are entrepreneurial in spirit, relationally strong, and excited about revitalization ministry.

About the Congregation and Facilities

Founded in 1887, our historic and well-maintained church building features:

• A first-floor social hall
• A second-floor sanctuary adorned with original stained-glass windows
• The Historic Immigrant House (late 1800s), originally built as a mission to support immigrants arriving in America. The first floor now houses a museum preserving this significant chapter of Baltimore’s history.
• An adjacent parsonage (row home), currently leased to provide supplemental income to support church operations.

Community Context

Locust Point is a thriving, stable neighborhood that blends historic charm with thoughtful revitalization. Ongoing redevelopment, including the transformation of nearby commercial properties into educational facilities—creates renewed opportunity for presence, partnership, and ministry impact. Restaurants and parks are walkable.

Our church sits at the center of this opportunity.

Why This Role Matters

This is a rare opportunity for a motivated pastor to:

• Lead during a pivotal growth window
• Shape the culture and direction of a historic congregation
• Build something meaningful and lasting
• Grow as a leader while growing a church

If you are passionate about community engagement, energized by possibility, and ready to invest in a congregation poised for impact, we would love to hear from you. Our church as much to offer: A vibrant neighborhood, historic buildings and assets, and a rare opportunity.

Interested candidates are invited to submit a resume, a statement of faith, and a cover letter outlining their interest and vision for part-time pastoral ministry at Locust Point Community Church.
