Full-Time Senior Pastor

Mount Home Baptist Church is seeking a full-time Senior Pastor to provide spiritual leadership and guidance to members of our church and the community. 

Mount Home has a rich history of over 150 years of serving its community of Burke County. While celebrating the legacy of the past and saints who have gone before us, today Mount Home is excited about being poised and in position to see God continue to reach our community and beyond. Our church is richly blessed through multi-generational worship and cooperation, as well as love for families and the next generation.

The pastor is responsible to Mount Home Baptist Church for the proclamation of the gospel through ministry in the pulpit, engagement in pastoral care ministries, speaking into and providing leadership for all areas of church life and to acting as the team leader to the paid staff. 

We affirm biblical qualifications as laid out in 1 Timothy 3:1-7:  This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);  not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. Moreover, he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
