ASSOCIATE PASTOR OF WORSHIP AND FAMILY MINISTRY JOB DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Associate Pastor of Worship and Family Ministry is a full-time, salaried position. First and foremost, the person called to this position must exhibit evidence that they are a saved disciple of Jesus Christ and can exhibit a biblical call to serve Christ through the local Body of Christ.

The biblical qualifications set forth in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, and 1 Peter 5:1-4 establish the expectations placed on the man filling this position. The church, therefore, recognizes that the pastor called to this position answers to the Lord Jesus Christ first. Subsequently, the church willingly places itself under the spiritual guidance and direction of the associate pastor, as he serves along with other pastoral leaders.

The man that fills this position recognizes that he works alongside and at the discretion of the senior pastor, leading the church together in keeping with Ephesians 4:11-12.

Appropriate education and/or experience are deemed crucial in the carrying out of this ministry. Ultimately, spiritual maturity is desired above all, in faithfully carrying out the call of God during this rebuilding phase at FBC.
