The Big Picture

Bonita Valley Baptist Church () is seeking a full-time dedicated, passionate, and experienced Senior Pastor to join our team and lead our congregation in spiritual growth and service. The ideal candidate will possess strong leadership skills, excellent communication abilities, and a deep love for the inerrant word of God, and desire to teach the Bible as written. We are a vibrant, diverse, and healthy community of faith, committed to serving God and loving our neighbors.

BVBC Mission Statement:

We envision teaching believers, through the Bible, how to love God and love their neighbors (Col 1:28, Matt 22:37-40).

We see a church of fully devoted followers of Jesus. Through dynamic preaching and practical teaching of the Scripture, along with discipling relationships, we strive to see life transformation occurs and people becoming more like Christ.

We see joyful people eager to attend services. When people arrive, they are warmly received, feel deep connections with others, and a sense of belonging. Newcomers are embraced with love and grace and brought into the life of BVBC.

We see vibrant ministries for all ages. Children, Youth, Young Adult, Men and Women, Seniors--each having multiple opportunities for spiritual growth, refreshment, and service. We see a church where every believer is equipped for ministry and deployed in service for the honor of God and love for people.

We see a church where prayer is vital and interwoven in all settings. We seek opportunities to pray for one another, for the will of God and for the advancement of His Kingdom.

We envision reaching Bonita and its nearby communities with the Good News that Jesus saves and transforms people (Luke 15).

We see a church passionate to bring people to know Jesus Christ as Savior. We are focused on training our adults and our young to live biblically, love authentically, and to share the message of Christ with integrity. We encourage our faith family of all ages to develop relationships with those who may not know Jesus. Outreach is not just a program, but an overflow of our lives in Christ.

We see people eager to serve in Bonita and beyond.

We rejoice BVBC is made up of people from different racial, ethnic, national, and economic backgrounds. We see a beautiful tapestry of God's people reflecting the reality of heaven, when "every tribe, tongue, and nation" will stand shoulder to shoulder in praise of Christ who brought them together by His blood and in His grace.

We envision sending believers into the world to share with others the story of how Jesus saved them (Romans 10:13-15, Acts 1:8)

We see our church supporting many missionary endeavors, both prayerfully and financially. We celebrate with our missionaries as they provide updates sharing how God is working through their ministries.

We see our people called to participate in a variety of missionary efforts, locally and around the world. It is exciting for us as a church to extend Christ's work to "the ends of the earth" (Matt 28:20)
