Senior Pastor Full Time

Parkway Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist Church whose church bylaws state that the church is to have “a traditional-style worship service,” which means we have a choir and sing hymns and choruses, accompanied by piano and organ. We do not have a praise band.

The bylaws also contain the following qualifications for a Senior Pastor :

(a)   Possess the qualifications of Pastor found in Scripture and shall be ordained by this or another Church affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention.

(b) Be an ordained Non-Calvinistic Minister with at least a Master’s Degree in Divinity

from an accredited Southern Baptist Seminary.

(c) Possess a servant’s heart, dedicated, caring personality, pastor’s heart, compassionate,

committed true to his calling, and a deep concern for those who do not know the

Lord.

(d) Have a deep sense of commitment to support his call from God.

(e) Interact well with all people age groups.

In addition to these qualifications, our church is looking for a person who has at least five years of experience as a senior pastor of a SBC affiliated church,

Therefore, our Pastor Search Committee can only consider the resumes of individuals who meet these qualifications.
