The Blackford-Breckenridge Baptist Association (BBBA) is eagerly searching for our next Director of Missions (DOM). The DOM for the BBBA is responsible for serving the 28 churches and pastors in Hancock, Breckenridge, and parts of Ohio and Daviess Counties so that they can come together for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission.

  A degree from a seminary or bible college that aligns with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 is strongly preferred. The search committee will carefully assess the DOM’s theological convictions through the interview process.
• 2. Maturity:
  He should meet the biblical pastoral qualifications given in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. He must be capable of making mature judgments, providing energetic support and maintaining a healthy Christian relationship with all the churches and pastors.
• 3.
  
  Experience:
  
  He should have sufficient pastoral and/or church staff experience to be able to relate to the unique needs of pastors and be capable of giving wise counsel to pastors and churches when needed. Ten years of pastoral experience is preferred.

The DOM will encourage these relationships by facilitating opportunities for training, worship, fellowship and missions.
