Associate Pastor or Full Year Intern
Job Description:
Merrimack Valley Presbyterian Church in North Andover, Massachusetts is seeking an Associate Pastor. We are very open to calling someone to do a one year internship while completing licensure and ordination requirements with a view to that man becoming our Associate Pastor.
The Associate Pastor, once he has settled in, will be expected to divide up all of the general pastoral labors with the Senior Pastor. This will include preaching around 52 times per year, teaching one other time during the week, and engaging in visitation and general pastoral care among the congregation. The church has a mature Session and an experienced Senior Pastor who will help mentor you. Dr. David Booth, our Senior Pastor, has been serving our congregation for 15 years.
Please note: While we fully expect that our Senior Pastor will mentor any new pastor or intern, we are not looking for an assistant to the Senior Pastor. We are looking for a fellow pastor.
Salary plus Housing will be in the 80s plus 10% of effective salary for retirement plus health, life, and disability insurance and 4 weeks paid vacation [We anticipate that the total compensation will be in the range of $110k-$115k depending on the insurance needs of your family].
The position is available immediately, but we are able to wait until this Summer if you are graduating from seminary this coming Spring or need to make a transition from your current employment.
If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please send your questions, MIF and/or resume to mvpcbooth@gmail.com
Position Qualifications:
- Must meet the biblical requirements for pastors.
- Must love the LORD, love God’s word, and love God’s people.
- Confessionally Reformed and able to joyfully subscribe to the Confession and Catechisms of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church
- We are looking for someone who feels called to serve as a pastor and not someone who would like to do a few years of pastoral ministry before pursuing an academic career.
- MDiv from a Reformed Seminary by the Summer of 2023.
- Must be interested in growing in your own faith and in your own understanding and ability to apply the word of God.

Description of Organization
Merrimack Valley Presbyterian Church is a vibrant and growing Orthodox Presbyterian Church in the North of Boston Suburbs.
Around half of our congregation lives in Southern New Hampshire while the other half lives in northern Massachusetts. The congregation, which is marked by unity and love, is committed to learning, teaching, and living out God's word. The congregation is well represented across all ages except that we are somewhat under-represented among retired people and we only have a few single adults (We currently have 29 baptized covenant youth and 85 communicant members along with several regular visitors). Reflecting the area, the congregation tends to be well educated with primarily white collar jobs.
We currently worship in North Andover, Massachusetts at an elementary school in the morning and a Baptist Church building in the evening. We own land in Salem, New Hampshire (the first town north of the Massachusetts border on 93) and have also been actively looking at purchasing existing buildings in the area.
