Associate Pastor Faith Fellowship Baptist Church

OVERVIEW OF FFBC 250704

Faith Fellowship Baptist Church (FFBC) is a member of the FEBC (Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches) and we’ve had a ministry in Brandon MB for 50 years. We exist to glorify the Lord as we seek to make obedient and faithful disciples of Jesus Christ, as evidenced by our submission to the Great Commission (Matt. 28:18-20) and the Great Commandments (Matt.

22:37-40).

We are a growing church family seeking a full‑time Associate Pastor of Discipleship & Family Ministries to provide pastoral leadership for shepherding, training and discipling young adults and a growing number of young families, to grow in their faith and to reach out to the same demographic in the Brandon community with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our multicultural congregation has experienced significant growth and change in the past three years. We are currently providing two services for our average attendance of 300‑320. Our church is made up of approximately 140 children and teens, over 90 senior adults and a growing number of young adults and young families. Brandon has over 7,500 full‑time university and community college students.

We are prayerfully seeking an Associate Pastor who is capable, qualified and willing to be responsible to guide, direct and disciple our adult ministries, to potentially create an effective college and university outreach, and to closely partner with our adult volunteers and church leadership in these ministries.

The Associate Pastor is supervised by and works in close relationship with the Senior Pastor, and both are directly accountable to the church leadership team. The Senior Pastor and other church pastors and staff are committed to a weekly time together for prayer, planning, training and encouragement. We are currently led by pastors and deacons. However, we are transitioning to an Elder led leadership that consists of both paid and unpaid elders.

The Associate Pastor is a full‑time staff member of FFBC who is responsible for providing oversight and leadership development, discipleship and mentoring strategies for our church family. This position requires someone who can motivate other to engage in service, who is gifted in team building with adult volunteers and who can ultimately lead and be an example of what it means to be an authentic faithful follower of Jesus Christ.

We recognize the importance of establishing strong Christian homes and godly leadership in the home, which is under spiritual attack in our day. We believe there is constant need for any and every service and ministry in the local church to be built on the solid foundation of the Word of God and prayer.

The Associate Pastoral candidate for FFBC must complete the FEBC Pastoral Profile (located on our website) which includes your salvation testimony, references and call to ministry, and be in agreement with the complete doctrinal statement of FFBC. The bylaws are currently being revised.
