Senior Pastor
First Baptist Church of Ahoskie (pronounced Åh-hoss-key), North Carolina, is searching for a full-time senior pastor to lead a diverse multi-generational congregation. As we celebrate 220 years of faithful ministry, we are looking for a sincere spiritual leader who will guide us into the future while honoring our deep-rooted traditions.
Our church family includes 250 resident members, with a growing focus on young families and our many small children. We cherish our history of long-tenured pastors (only eight in the last 100 years) and seek a pastor who will continue this legacy of stability and spiritual leadership.
Similarly, our congregation is committed to caring for our pastor, so they can do the work to which God has called them. We offer a competitive compensation package that reflects your ministry experience and qualifications, including a salary, housing allowance, and retirement contribution ranging between $75,000-$105,000. We also offer health insurance, paid time off, and professional development opportunities. Specific details will be discussed with candidates during the interview process.
Worship at FBC Ahoskie is traditional in style, with music playing a vital role in our services. We affirm the leadership of women in ministry, having ordained women as both deacons and ministers who have served in those capacities in significant numbers and roles.
We are looking for a pastor with strong communication and dynamic preaching skills. Our new pastor should be ready to assess and build our staffing and governance structures to best serve our congregation and community.
