Associate Pastor Position Announcement (Half-time Position)
Groveton Baptist Church exists to Magnify God’s Reputation. Located in Alexandria, VA, two miles south of the Capital Beltway on Route 1, the church has grown to reflect the economic, educational, and ethnic diversity of Northern Virginia over our 80-year history. We embrace our identity as A House of Prayer for All Nations, with members hailing from more than 20 nations and many different evangelical traditions.
We are seeking an Associate Pastor to work with the Senior Pastor and the Church Council to revitalize church discipleship and evangelism. Many of the structures needed for this do not currently exist, so this will require someone who thinks in systems and structures, has administrative efficiency, and is driven by a longing to see people connected with Jesus and one another.
This work is part of our broader aim to nurture a gospel culture at Groveton. The Associate Pastor will be particularly invested in developing gospel community and gospel generosity. Gospel community is nurtured in groups where we can learn one another’s stories, ask questions that go beneath the surface, and spend enough time with each other that we can speak grace and truth into each other’s blind spots. Gospel generosity is displayed when we show up in the lives and needs of our neighbors and introduce them to Jesus through our demeanor and testimony. We hope to create intentional, non-threatening groups where we can share with our neighbors who Jesus is and what he has done for us.
In short, we want the redeeming grace of Jesus to be richly experienced in connected relationships within the church and freely shared with those outside the church.
This is a half-time position with the hope of growing into a full-time position.
