Pastor

Reavisville First Baptist Church (southwest of Crane, Missouri) is prayerfully seeking a FULL‑TIME Pastor who meets the biblical qualifications of 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:6–9, and who brings energy, authenticity, and a genuine fire for the Lord.

We’re a fast‑growing, family‑focused, mission‑minded country church looking for a pastor who preaches boldly, loves people deeply, and connects Scripture to real rural life.

• Evangelism & Outreach: A heart for reaching the lost and strengthening the saved.
• Relationship‑Building:
  Warm, down‑to‑earth fellowship with families of all ages.
• Occasional Basic Maintenance:
  Country church reality — sometimes ministry looks practical.

If you preach with passion, connect through everyday illustrations, and carry yourself with the humble confidence of a country‑raised believer, our congregation will respond.
