Job Title: Pastor

Hours: (Full Time/Part Time): Full Time

Salary:  $48k/yr

Job Description:
Though from Scripture it is evident the church should have a plurality of elders, it is
clear that some were devoted primarily to preaching and teaching (1 Tim. 5:17). This
individual shall meet the qualifications outlined for elders (the terms pastor, elder, and
bishop being synonymous) in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9.
The pastor shall be called to minister to the flock for an indefinite period of time, which
shall begin at the time he assumes his duties.

Duties:
In addition to the general duties of elder, the pastor shall:
• Preach and teach the entire Word of God at the stated services of the church
• Administer the ordinances
• Visit the sick, infirm, and distressed of the flock
• Serve as chairman of the board, and act as a nonvoting member of all other
church committees and panels
• Arrange for all special services in cooperation with the board
• Moderate all board meetings and church business meetings, except when the
business concerns him personally, or when he may be absent (at such times, the
vice-chairman shall preside overstated meetings)

Duties of elder:
• The elders shall be examples of godliness to the church and the community.
• They shall care for the spiritual welfare of the church members.
• As shepherds to the whole flock, they shall promote the spirit of unity and
Christian fellowship within the body.
• They shall serve in a ruling capacity, in love and gentleness encouraging,
building up, and admonishing the faithful.
• They will be entrusted with the teaching and instructing of the Lord’s people, and
in the pastor’s absence, arrange for pulpit supply.
• They shall arbitrate disputes between church members, and when necessary,
oversee the proper administration of church discipline.
• They shall assist in the administration of the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:28-30; Eph
4:11-16; 1 Tim. 3:1-7, Heb. 13:17, 24; I Peter 5:2-3).
• In cooperation with the deacons, the elders shall act, when necessary, as a
general pulpit committee, until one can be appointed.
• They shall also, with the deacons, review for approval all who fill the pulpit in the
pastor’s absence.
• In cooperation with the deacons, the elders shall be responsible for oversight of
the church finances, and the raising and appropriation of funds.
• They shall oversee the general operation of the church, and keep the trustees
informed concerning necessary repairs, maintenance, and other issues
concerning church property.
