Requirements

Steuben Church of the Master Statement of Faith

We Believe: the Bible is the inspired, and only infallible and authoritative word of God.

We Believe: in the Holy Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

We Believe: man is a created being and is a sinner by nature and by choice.

We Believe: salvation is by faith alone in the merits of Christ's shed blood on the cross of Calvary.

We Believe: the Church is the body of Christ and both a human and divine institution.

We Believe: in the physical, visible, and powerful return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to this Earth.

We Believe: in Christian conduct patterned after Christ.

Vision Statement

Our vision at Church of the Master is to preach, teach, and live the word of God so that lives (ours and others) will be changed for the glory of God.

We are searching for a pastor who meets the qualifications described in 1 Timothy 3:1-13 and Titus 1:5-9. The main role of a pastor as stated in Ephesians 4:12 is "to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up." In order to effectively watch over the flock, he must be eager to serve, leading in accordance with 1 Peter 5:2-4.

Through a congregational survey, we have discovered clarity and unity for what our church wants most in a pastor. He should aspire to prioritize spiritual transformation through God's word, Biblical leadership in his home, and the church. The church desires an enthusiastic, humble servant leader who will guide us to do God's will. His sermons should help us grow through sound Biblical teachings, with everyday application.

We are prayerfully seeking and patiently waiting for the pastor God is preparing for us.

If you only eat homemade pies, you'll fit right in. (Bonus points if you know how to hunt and fish!)

Church Profile

The church has roots in the Freewill Baptist Church dating back to 1829, but became the Church of the Master in 1935. Since that time, we have been a small but committed nondenominational church with a foundation on Biblical teaching.

We currently have 42 members with attendance consistently between 65-75. We value both traditional hymns and contemporary worship with many singing enthusiastically and in harmony. We have Sunday school for all ages. Additional small groups include women's circle, Mama Bears Bible study, youth group and Wednesday night Bible study. We are hardworking families, agricultural/farmers, factory workers, business owners, teachers and outdoor enthusiasts, including a number of young families with children.

In addition, many members have a lifetime of experience and wisdom to share.

We have a longstanding tradition of fellowship centered around home cooked meals. We value outdoor worship in the summer months. The Church of the Master observes child dedications, Baptism upon statement of faith, Communion, and Biblical marriage. Traditionally, the church holds special services including Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Sunrise Easter.

Outreach events include our annual Live Nativity and Vacation Bible School, both of these events see a large number of visitors. The church designates 15% of offerings to support a variety of international, national and local missions.
