Lead Pastor
Other Details
Description of Company/Church: Christ Presbyterian Church is a Christ-centered, diverse congregation with an average worship attendance of 80-100, located at 2508 Dickens Road in Richmond, Virginia. We are a family of believers united in Christ and grounded in His Word. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we seek to be genuine about our struggles, frailties and sinfulness. We desire to be a catalyst for God’s transformative work, which sets people free to obey Him and lifts Christ up so that others may be drawn to Him. Our church is affiliated with ECO (A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians).
Position Overview: We are seeking a dedicated and passionate full-time pastor. First and foremost, we seek a Pastor who is spiritually mature, aware of their own brokenness, and who deeply understands the Gospel message and the unwavering love of Christ in their life. We desire someone who can minister with humility and an abundance of grace, embracing the theological and cultural diversity of our congregation as a reflection of the kingdom of God. Additionally, we seek a Pastor who is open to the work of the Holy Spirit, actively listening for God’s voice through Scripture, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. Finally, we are seeking a gifted preacher and teacher of the Word, consistently able to lead people to the Cross and convey the story of God’s redemptive love through Christ as revealed in Scripture.
This role is supported by a committed team, including a part-time Administrator, part-time Office Manager/Treasurer, and part-time Coordinator of Children’s Ministry. The Session, formed of the pastor and six elders, guides our community’s spiritual formation through regular prayer, discussion, and spiritual discernment. Our leadership also includes six deacons who are responsible for meeting the everyday, pragmatic needs of our church family and the community beyond our four walls. Elders and deacons are elected by the congregation for up to two consecutive three-year terms and take on specific areas of responsibility that may change annually to adapt to evolving needs. We see to it that every regular attender is well cared for by assigning both an elder and a deacon to each, ensuring personalized attention, prayer and support.
