PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:
As Senior Pastor your primary responsibilities include being the spiritual leader and shepherd of the congregation. You are to lead and manage the church on behalf of and in conjunction with the church Session, in a way that promotes church health, vitality, and growth. In the power of the Holy Spirit and guided by the Word of God and prayer, you have the responsibilities of planning and leading all worship services, administering the sacraments, preaching, providing pastoral care, supervising the spiritual and ministry development of the church staff and ministry leaders, overseeing and developing all ministries of the church, equipping God’s people for ministry, and leading the church in discerning and pursuing God’s vision.

As the primary shepherd of this church, you are to follow the servant leadership of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. Just as God chose David, as a shepherd of God’s people, who “shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them” (Ps. 78:70-72), you are to shepherd this church with the character and ministry skills honoring to Christ. This includes growing in your own relationship with Jesus, taking care of yourself in all ways, nurturing your own marriage and family, and growing professionally as a pastor.
