We are currently seeking a full-time resident to be equipped and sent out to plant a church with a vision to help the Muscatine area live in light of the gospel. We would love for you to prayerfully consider the position.
Our church planting resident will be asked to undergo Converge’s Church Planting Training (online), which will equip the resident in church planting ministry and systems, fundraising, and how to effectively use his gifts in ministry. In addition, the resident will be connected with a vast network of seasoned church planters. Upon completion of this training, the resident will go through Converge’s Church Planter’s Assessment process.
Complementary to
Converge’s church planting process, First Baptist will equip the resident
through both ministry training and experience.
A personalized ministry training process will be put together for the
resident based on growth needs in the areas of theology, leadership, care, and
preaching. The resident will also be given extensive opportunities to shepherd
First Baptist alongside the existing Elders through preaching, teaching,
leading, and caring for members.
In addition to the ministry experience above, the
resident will be given opportunities to cast vision, lead, equip, and oversee
the ministries of outreach and evangelism at First Baptist. We believe the
following ministry opportunities will prove beneficial for both the starting
and strengthening of a new church.
This is a full-time position with compensation to be determined based on education and ministry experience.
The resident will be mentored by the Lead Pastor during the residency. In addition, he will serve as both a member of the First Baptist Elder Team and be accountable to the Elders.
All interested candidates should email their resumes to our Search Team Chair, Isaac (iavannice@gmail.com). In addition, we encourage you to learn more about our church’s vision, core values, ministry structure, and beliefs here on this site.
