THE BIG PICTURE
Lamberton Church of Christ (https://www.facebook.com/PASTORDAVE1/about) is seeking a part-time Pastor. The pastor is the spiritual leader of the church. Preaching and teaching the Word of God is the highest priority. Winning people to Jesus Christ is the first objective of the pastor. The pastor shall be responsible for leading the congregation to spiritual growth and to develop spiritual maturity in their lives.
The Church
The Lamberton Church of Christ is an independent Christ Centered, Bible believing fellowship located in beautiful downtown Lamberton, Minnesota. Our purpose is to know Him and make Him known. Clear systematic Bible preaching and teaching is our highest priority. We recognize that no other foundation will stand the test of time and eternity. Our fellowship has a small-town friendliness and feel. Come as you are but we hope you do not leave as you were. We strive to leave the imprint of Jesus upon all we meet. The Lamberton Church of Christ was born as a result of a series of tent revivals in the late teens and early 1920’s. The Lamberton Church of Christ shares a heritage with what is known as “The Restoration Movement.” Several phrases describe this mid-1800’s movement, such as “no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible” and “In essentials unity, non-essentials liberty, and all things charity.”
The Pastor’s Character:
The congregation recognizes two absolutes for the position of pastor. From the pastor’s character flows his life therefore we seek to see the following:
- A pastor who evidence’s a Godly character. This will be seen by integrity of character, a disciplined prayer life and healthy loving relationships with the pastor’s wife and children.
- A pastor who has a passion for the Word of God and a gift in preaching that Word. We expect the pastor to allocate sufficient time to prepare spiritually significant sermons delivered in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. We seed a pastor who has the willingness to delegate and prioritize his responsibilities and who will equip the church for service.
