We maintain a close relationship with the local public elementary school, serving as their emergency evacuation point and providing supplies and snacks as needed. We are very missions-minded and currently support twelve missionary families at more than $300 per month each, along with other supportive organizations.

• Church Description:

  Our Pastor Ed Scaglione has decided to retire after 50 years in ministry. We are now beginning to look for a new Pastor to continue the work at Calvary Baptist Church of Larkspur that started 75 years ago. We are praying for a full- time Pastor who will lead us to continue to faithfully serve our Lord and remain a conservative, Bible preaching/teaching ministry to our members and community.
  The core of our church consists of about 15 members. Sunday’s morning, worship attendances vary between 15-25 and half that at the Sunday and Wednesday evening services. Our church is a close family that has prayed and supported each other over many years.
  Our members are mostly elderly-to-middle aged believers who desire to continue growing in our love of the Lord and outreach to our community. We currently have 2-3 children in Junior Church and Nursery workers when needed. Our prayer is to once again build up a strong children’s ministry.
  Our Lord has blessed the church with a consistent 75 year testimony as a conservative Light in a liberal area. We love Bible expository preaching and studies, conservative music, and our 9 supported missionaries. We continue to be financially blessed for the support of a full- time Pastor. The church has no debt and owns our worship facilities and a 5 bedroom, 2 baths parsonage.
  Not knowing the Pastor and family that our Lord will bring to us, our prayers have been directed toward a mature, Biblically and personally separated, conservative, married Pastor whose passions would be building up believers and reaching out to the lost of Marin County California.
  Please let me know of any assistance you can give us in our seeking a Pastor.

• Church: Midlothian Baptist Church

• Website: http://mbcrva.org/

• Church Description:

  Midlothian Baptist Church was founded by Ken and Kathy Cornett in February 1987. After 37 years as pastor, he is retiring. He is still serving as pastor, but he does not plan to attend the church after retiring, and is moving. The church was founded as an Independent Baptist church associated with the Baptist Bible Fellowship International, but joined the Southern Baptist Convention of Virginia (Conservatives) in 2019. We did not drop any missionaries that we supported when we joined the SBCV. We are the sending church for two BBFI missionary families and have 19 other missionary projects we support. We have also taken several missionary trips with teams from our church. Thank God we have never had a financial crisis at the church. Our worship music is a blend of hymns and praise songs with a band
  Midlothian is a suburb of Richmond VA. It is a fast -growing area in Chesterfield County. New homes and apartments are being built within a few miles of the church. The church is located on a 4-lane road that is one mile from a beltway around Richmond.
  The church is out of debt on the 8,900 square foot building, two modular buildings, a 2400 square foot pavilion, 15 acres, and has a sizable building fund for the next building. Plans for a new multipurpose building was approved by the county, the land was cleared, and a building permit was issued, but plans are delayed due to the need to raise funds. We have spent $300,000 on the project to date.
  The average attendance is around 110 and is a mix of ages and ethnic groups. A good percentage of the members were saved in the church. There is a sweet spirit in the church, where the people love the Lord Jesus, the pastor, and each other.
  This is a great opportunity for a godly man with the ability to train leaders, can preach well, win souls, has a heart for foreign missions, and who loves the Lord and people. If you are a five-point Calvinist, speak in tongues, not a Baptist, or want to use a small church as a stepping stone to a larger ministry, then you need not apply. Concerning the social issues of today, we are pro-life, we believe that marriage is only between a man and a woman, there is no such thing as transgenderism, homosexuality is a sin, and women have a very important ministry in the church, but should not be ordained as pastors.

• Church: Wrangell Bible Baptist Church

• Website: http://bbcwrangell.squarespace.com/

• Church Description:

  WBBC was founded by BBFI missionary Doug Moore in 1959 and has been pastored by several other BBFI missionaries after his untimely death shortly thereafter in an airplane crash. The church building and a small older parsonage are owned by WBBC. It is located on an island in southeast Alaska along the Inside Passage. The current population of the community is approximately 2,000. Current church attendance averages 25. The population and attendance are transient and fluctuate with the economy and work available. It is a fishing community. Much of the population roots are in either logging or fishing industry. Primarily two of the eight different tribes of Alaska natives reside in Wrangell. They are the Tlingit and Haida and a few who have Iñupiat or Tsimshian heritage and many are of Norwegian descent.
  WBBC meets as a church body for public worship for Life Groups on Sunday mornings followed by a worship service. Currently, the music is via online due to lack of musicians and it is currently blended music. The church meets as a family again on Wednesday evenings with a light meal/soup followed by Bible study and prayer. Currently, the church is supporting eight different missionaries/projects with an annual Faith Promise budget of $7,000.00. WBBC is affiliated as a BBFI church. The church does not adhere to Reformed Theology! We are pre-trib, pre-mel, dispensational, but not legalistic. Wrangell is home of two fishing canneries and during the summer months import well over 300 workers. This has been an open door of evangelism to many people groups around the world who are temporarily here working. There are nine religious organizations in the community, Assembly of God, Bah'aí, Catholic, Episcopal, Jehovah's Witness, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Mormon, Seventh Day Adventist. Our current Missionary/Pastor has been here over 27 years and due to medical of both he and his wife we are in need of the position to be filled by either an Interim/Intern or Pastor. The attire on the island is very casual and appropriate to an outdoorsman, fisherman, logger. They, as a community, are not receptive to suits and ties. Wrangell Alaska is in the “uttermost”, only way in or out of Wrangell is via plane or boat. It is an island.

Possess organizational skills and ability to effectively and skillfully discuss long-term and short- term goals with the membership.

• Church: Grace Bible Baptist Church

• Website: http://gracebiblebaptistchurch.churchcenter.com/

• Church Description:

  In existence since 1967, our church is located at 216 Rough Edge Road in Ruston, Louisiana—home to Louisiana Tech University and Delta Community College and in close proximity to Grambling State University. The population of Lincoln Parish (county) is approximately 50,000. In addition to regularly scheduled Sunday school classes and worship services, the church supports a robust faith promise missions program, as well as providing transportation and other initiatives as part of our outreach ministry. This includes fundraising and staffing for summer youth and junior camps. The average Sunday morning attendance for the past three months is 65.8. Our order of service features blended worship, and we are an independent Baptist church.

• Job Requirements: 

  The Grace Bible Baptist Church Senior Pastor should live a life that embodies the principles and instructions given in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:6-9, and 1 Peter 5:1-4. It is imperative that decisions, large and small, be approached in a spirit of prayer and that the man of God spends considerable energy in the study of the Word, being responsive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
  A combination of sound doctrine and a heart filled with love for the people of God and concern for a lost and dying world is essential to our Lord’s command to win people to Him and to disciple new Christians.
  Though the above are paramount, it is of equal or greater importance that he not neglect enjoying restorative time with and ministering to his own family.
  He should possess a bachelor’s degree in ministry and/or considerable, verifiable pastoral experience.
  He must also agree to adhere to the church’s established bylaws.

• Job Description: 

  As an under-shepherd of the Chief Shepherd, the pastor should be the principal communicator of God’s message, based on the Holy Scriptures, in public worship services. Outside of special circumstances (e.g., missions conferences, revival meetings), this involves Sunday morning and evening services as well as a Wednesday evening time of prayer and Bible study.
  
  In addition to fervent prayer and study, this requires frequent interfacing with others, including the church trustees as well as leaders of the outreach and music ministries, to facilitate clearly defined procedural and directional expectations in keeping with our mission and vision.
  
  The pastor should assume the principal role in developing, communicating, and, as necessary, amending church protocols, following guidelines enumerated in the bylaws. This includes generalized church administration and oversight.
  
  He should also be prepared to officiate at baptisms, weddings, and funerals, as well as conduct the Lord’s supper as he is led.
  
  Demonstrating love of and care for others is a defining pastoral characteristic. At no point is this more apparent than in the provision of wise counsel to the flock and in the winning of souls (Proverbs 11:30).
