Senior Pastor: Knox Presbyterian Church

The Senior Pastor of Knox Presbyterian Church is to be a visionary spiritual leader who
embodies the heart of Christ’s ministry while guiding the congregation into the future. As a
medium-sized church with a rich history of faithful service and gospel-centered ministry, we are
committed to making disciples, serving our community, and advancing God’s kingdom. Our
congregation represents different ages, backgrounds, and spiritual journeys, united by our
commitment to Reformed theology and grace-oriented, gospel teaching. The Senior Pastor will
lead a dedicated team of staff and lay leaders who are passionate about the church’s mission
and eager to follow God’s leading under thoughtful, collaborative leadership.

The Senior Pastor will boldly proclaim the truth of Scripture to an increasingly secular world,
and will shepherd our congregation with wisdom and compassion while equipping members to
live out their faith in their workplaces, neighborhoods, and families. As head of staff, he will
exercise confident leadership of the pastoral, ministry, and administrative staff, determine
which staff positions are required in consultation with the Session, and have responsibility for
hiring and managing the staff. The Senior Pastor will carry out his ministry responsibilities
personally or through appropriate delegation.
