Solo​/Senior Pastor

Our pastor at Lockport Church is retiring after 40 years of service and we are seeking a pastor to serve God in rural Carroll County, Indiana. This is a unique opportunity for someone seeking a rural/family/community oriented ministry. The church team includes a deacon board, other church officers, and congregation members.

Located on the banks of the Wabash River, Lockport was once a major commerce center during the height of the Wabash and Erie Canal era, but today is a small “sleepy hollow” community tucked away on the scenic back roads of Indiana. We have an average attendance of around 80 people each Sunday with a congregation coming from a three-county area.

Church activities include regular Sunday School, worship service, Word of Life Youth groups, children’s church, and adult Bible study. We also have a vacation Bible school program, youth Bible camp, and various social events throughout the year.

Responsibilities include planning and leading Sunday morning worship and evening services, coordinating prayer requests, providing hospital visits, and officiating at weddings, funerals, and community outreach.
