Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions
Associate Pastor of Worship
Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, Geraldine, Alabama, United States, 35974
First Baptist Church Geraldine is prayerfully seeking a full-time Associate Pastor of Worship to help lead our church in Christ-centered, gospel-rich worship and to serve alongside our pastoral team in shepherding the church.
Located in the heart of Sand Mountain in Geraldine, Alabama, FBC Geraldine is a healthy, multi-generational church of about 215 people in a town of roughly 900. We treasure God’s Word, love to sing, and are committed to making disciples in our community and to the ends of the earth.
Our worship style is best described as blended. Each week, our 30-voice choir and instrumentalists help lead the congregation in both historic hymns and modern hymns. We want to prioritize congregational singing with a rich diet of biblically faithful, gospel-rich songs. We are an expositional preaching church with a high view of the Word of God.
We’re seeking someone who is musically gifted, doctrinally sound, pastorally minded, and administratively capable—a man who can not only lead in worship but, depending on calling and giftedness, serve in a broader pastoral capacity.
