Senior Pastor Campbellsville, KY

Senior Pastor Job Description

Campbellsville Baptist Church is seeking a pastor who is a biblically uncompromising, gospel-centered, and spiritually mature; a compelling preacher AND a genuine shepherd; a warm, visible, community-minded relational overseer who can unite generations; and a courageous, collaborative visionary who can help CBC move from maintaining ministries to strategically mobilizing its people and resources for evangelism, discipleship, missions, and community impact.

We are a Christ-centered Church grounded in the truth of Gods Word and committed to living out our faith through worship, fellowship, service, and outreach. We believe the Church is to be the hands and feet of Christ, providing compassion, encouragement, and practical support to those in need. We strive to be a welcoming church for all people. With a strong faith and a heart for people, we desire to honor our heritage while continuing to follow Gods leading into the future.

Campbellsville Baptist is a Southern Baptist Church located in South Central Kentucky. One of the greatest strengths and gifts of our church is the people who make up our congregation. With a strong history spanning more than 225 years, we are blessed with a rich heritage and deep commitment to the ministry of the church.

• First and foremost, we want to love, support, and care for our pastor and his family. We believe ministry is a partnership and want our pastor and his family to feel that they are not simply serving our church, but that they have become a valued and loved part of our church family.
• We want to encourage our pastor, pray for him, respect his need for family time and rest, and stand beside him through both the joys and challenges of ministry. We desire to create an environment where he can oversee with confidence, knowing that his church family is praying for him, supporting him, and caring for him as a person…not simply as our pastor.
• We encourage taking personal days, having flexible office hours to spend time in the community, and to engage in personal hobbies. We want to provide soul care for the pastor and his family. We desire to be engaged and know how to make our pastor successful.
• We also recognize that a pastor’s family shares in the joys and demands of ministry. We want to welcome, encourage, and care for his wife and children while allowing them the freedom to find their own place and individual gifts within the life of the church.

We are committed to providing our pastor with a competitive and comprehensive compensation package that reflects the responsibilities of the position, the pastor’s experience and qualifications, and the cost of living in our community. Our desire is to care well for our pastor and his family and provide the resources needed for him to serve effectively.

The compensation package will include but not limited to: salary, housing allowance, health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, retirement/annuity contributions, FICA, resource and materials allowance, conference and convention expenses, hospitality expenses, and travel reimbursement or allowance.

We will regularly review the package to ensure it remains competitive and supports the long-term health and effectiveness of our pastor and his family.

Our desire is to be the kind of church that loves our pastor well - praying for him, encouraging him, caring for his family and walking alongside them as we serve Christ together.
