The Big Picture

Northland Community Church (https://welcometoncc.com/northland) is seeking a full-time Pastor.

Job Description

The Church

Northland Community Church (NCC) is located on M-66 about halfway between Lake City and McBain. This site was chosen because of its easy driving distance from local communities such as Cadillac, Lake City, McBain, Marion and Falmouth. Our church was founded in 1991 as a non-denominational church to give the community an opportunity to worship without denominational boundaries where everyone would feel welcome. While we try to be flexible in how we worship, we continue to be a church where the Bible is taught as God's perfect word. Our church building was built in 1996 and since then there have been additions to the worship space and the classrooms. We also added the Sunshine Chapel so the children could meet and worship as a whole group. The kitchen has recently been updated. The building is over 12,000 square feet with a separate youth building. The buildings are well maintained and sit on 43 acres. Northland currently has an average Sunday morning worship attendance of 70, with 43 members. Basic Training (our children's church) has an average of 15 kids attending on Sunday morning.

The Candidate

Needs to be in agreement with our doctrine as outlined in our church constitution. Needs training in pastoring (shepherding) a church (not necessarily from a seminary). Experience preferred but not necessary. Needs to be relational-energetic, outgoing, willing to be involved in our lives and in our community (not quiet, reserved, private). More important to be skilled in teaching, encouraging and admonishing us to please Jesus with our lives than to have polished sermons and great theological knowledge. Needs a passion for sharing Jesus with unbelievers. Willing to mentor and develop leaders in our church.

The Compensation

$60,000-$69,000 plus benefits
