Pastor

Senior Pastor Opportunity

We are seeking a Pastor at Bethel Baptist Church in Lakeview Arkansas. Our Pastor is having health issues and nearing retirement, we would like to have our new Pastor on board before his retirement. Our Pastor has pastored here 22 years.
A secondary income will be needed for the prospective pastor. So, this is a bi-vocational opportunity.
In our zip code the average age is 64. There are less than 200 children in the whole zip code (most of the young families that attend church go to the large churches in Mountain Home, ten miles away).
As would be expected, the prospective pastor will have senior adults as their main ministry.
The prospective pastor will need to seek their own housing. Rentals are scarce in the immediate area. Property taxes are low compared to many parts of the country.
Our attendance runs around 35, with several traveling with their RV’s during the year. The auditorium seats 80 comfortably.
Our doctrinal statement is in line with IFCA international.
Responsibilities would include preaching twice on Sunday, leading the Wednesday Prayer and Bible Study, and leading a robust discipleship program.
Our church uses the NKJV as our teaching Bible and expository preaching has been the means of sharing God’s Word.
The church carries no debt, and the facility is kept in good shape.
We have a music team that provides a blend of old and new music, using guitars and piano. Powerpoint slides are used on a large screen TV, although hymnbooks are still available in the pews.
