Senior PastorCalvary Community Church

THE CANDIDATE:

The right Senior Pastor will first be a man whose leadership flows from a deep, dependent and authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. He will be prayerful, humble and grounded in Scripture, with a consistency between public ministry and private life that creates trust. Calvary values substantive, expository preaching, so this leader will be a gifted preacher and teacher who communicates biblical truth with theological depth, clarity, conviction and practical application. He will also be a genuine shepherd who enjoys people. This leader will be approachable, emotionally intelligent and comfortable relating across generations. He will also know how to lead leaders: Developing staff and lay leadership, strengthening alignment, clarifying priorities and entrusting meaningful ministry to others. He will listen before prescribing, honor Calvary’s legacy without being bound by it and bring a deeply missional, disciplemaking heart that equips people to live on mission.

THE QUALIFICATIONS:

A born-again believer who ministers from the overflow of a dependent relationship on Jesus and models mature character, prayer and submission to the authority of Scripture. Aligned with the church’s theological convictions and able, if not already credentialed, to acquire credentials with the EFCA. A Master of Divinity is preferred, though equivalent theological preparation and ministry experience may be considered. Hold a premillennial and dispensational view of end times and are complementarian.
