Solo Pastor
Job Description
We seek a Christ-centered, Spirit-led Solo Pastor who is called to shepherd our congregation, faithfully teach God's Word through expository preaching, and provide visionary leadership for the church's ministry and mission. He should be a faithful shepherd who will guard our congregation against false teaching through sound, biblical doctrine and the faithful proclamation of God's Word.
About the Organization
New Covenant Presbyterian Church (NCPC) was founded in 1975 by dedicated Christians desiring to join the newly formed Presbyterian Church in America. Within six months, the Calvary Presbytery received our new church. In early 1976, 127 charter members welcomed our first pastor, the Reverend Billy Rufus. We spent two years working prayerfully to secure property and build a place of worship and study in Manning. We began holding weekly worship services in the new sanctuary in December 1977. By God’s grace and the faithful generosity of our congregation, we are blessed to be a debt-free church. Our 9 + acre campus features a multi-building facility that includes a sanctuary which can seat approximately 250, fellowship hall, enlarged narthex, bride’s parlor, pastor’s office, activity building, nursery and numerous classrooms. These facilities provide space for worship, fellowship, Christian education, and ministry to our church family and community. We are thankful for God’s abundant provision and for the faithful stewardship that allows us to continue His work and look forward to the future with hope. While our current weekly attendance is around 40, we believe the Lord has graciously positioned New Covenant for many years of fruitful ministry ahead.
