Liberty Grove Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist Church seeking a dedicated and compassionate pastor who feels called to shepherd our congregation, preach the Word of God, and lead our church in spiritual growth and community outreach. The pastor will provide spiritual leadership through preaching, teaching, counseling, planning and mentoring while fostering a supportive church environment. The ideal candidate will work closely with our Deacons and congregation to build upon our established foundation while guiding us toward future growth and revitalization.

Liberty Grove Baptist Church is located in Fleetwood NC, deep within the Appalachian Mountains and near the winding New River. It was established over 110 years ago and has enjoyed a peaceful existence and unity within the body of believers. The congregation is age diverse and number approximately 110 during worship. A new sanctuary was constructed approximately 12 years ago, and we are in the process of developing plans for a new addition replacing older classroom space and expanding the overall gathering capacity. A full demographic package is available upon request.

This Church has operated under the leadership of Bi-Vocational Pastors over an extended period. That flow has worked well within our congregation. However, we are open to talking with both Bi-Vocational and Full-time ministers.

• A cover letter containing an introduction that will include an outline of previous experience.
