Senior Pastor
Job Overview
THE CHURCH
Calvary Church is a relatively new, independent church that was planted 12 years ago with affiliation to the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). The congregation is made up mostly of young families and a smaller number of retired/older adults. Calvary has a growing Awana program, and though many do not attend Sunday services, this provides a fertile ground for growth. Worship Service is more casual with a blend of hymns and worship songs focusing on truths over style.
Though the center of ministry is in New Prague, people drive from as far as 20-25 minutes away to attend Sunday worship. Calvary is conservative theologically and culturally and is situated in a mostly conservative area 45 miles southeast of Minneapolis, and this does influence the community's values and perspectives.
THE COMMUNITY
New Prague is a small, charming town that feels like a hallmark movie setting. The church's future pastor will need to understand the unique cultural dynamics of New Prague, as the church is striving to create a welcoming atmosphere for people from all walks of life, and build a multi-generational church that reflects the community.
Community Dynamics:
- A relatively small but friendly and traditional community.
- Residents are used to a slower pace of life and hold conservative values.
- A town where local businesses and tight-knit relationships are important.
Job Description
The Senior Pastor will oversee all aspects of the ministry at Calvary Church, including leading a motivated staff team, alongside a solid, committed group of elders.
