Associate Pastor (Youth & Families) (part time)

Associate Pastor (Youth and Families)

Metford Community Baptist Church has an established congregation who have been on a
journey this year reaffirming our purpose and values and seeking God’s direction and vision for our church.

Our purpose statement is: To be a caring community who know, love and share Jesus.
Our values:
1. Bible based
2. Prayer dependent
3. People centred
4. Family focused
5. Disciple and mission shaped

The Associate Pastor will work with the Lead Pastor to focus on our priorities:

• All ages and generations with a specific focus on youth, children and families – engaging
and connecting so people feel cared for.
• Build and foster local community connections within Metford – both community and
within Maitland Christian School.
• Developing disciples who thrive on prayer and God’s word.
• Building committed, faithful workers that share of our hope in Jesus with others.
• Be part of the leadership and contribute to the developing of leaders.

The Associate Pastor will help develop and implement some of the strategies that will emerge out of the visioning process.

This is an exciting time in the life of the church where the church is seeing growth and
positioning itself for additional growth.

As a church we are committed to seeing people come to faith in Jesus and be nurtured and
shaped to fulfil their God given purpose and potential.
