First Baptist Church (FBC) is excited to be posting the role of an Associate Pastor of Discipleship.
At the heart of FBC is a focus on being an equipping church, which results in the congregation growing in maturity of faith as the Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians 4, therefore the Associate Pastor of Discipleship brings experience in a wider context of overseeing a disciple-making culture. This includes guiding the congregation in growing their individual relationship with God, having meaningful relationships with each other and understanding their mission to what God is calling them to do.
