Carlisle Congregational Church is seeking a part‑time Assistant Pastor to invest in the next generation and help families become deeply rooted in the life of the church.

Carlisle Congregational Church is a gospel-centered, Bible‑teaching church located in Carlisle, Massachusetts, a small town just outside Boston. We are committed to preaching God’s Word, building meaningful relationships, and making disciples across generations.

We’re looking for a pastor who is:

• A qualified male candidate who meets the biblical qualifications for elders/pastors(1 Timothy 3:1–7; Titus 1:5–9) and models the shepherding posture of 1 Peter 5:1–4
• Committed to Scripture and gospel-centered ministry
• Relational and approachable
• Passionate about discipling the next generation
• Able to take initiative while working in close partnership with leadership
• Able to provide pastoral and personal references who can speak to character
