Mayfair Bible Church (MBC) is looking for a lead pastor to join its team of elders in shepherding God’s flock. The elder board—which  consists of five or more lay elders, two associate pastors, and the lead pastor—works with the deacon board to guide, serve, and love the church family.

History of Mayfair Bible Church Located  in Flushing,  Michigan,  (a  small  town  near  Flint), Mayfair  Bible  Church grew  from  a neighborhood ministry in 1929 to an incorporated church in 1945 and has remained a witness to God’s faithful grace and truth. Throughout its history, Mayfair has remained committed to biblical teaching  and  preaching, excellence  in  Christian  music,  relevant  youth  ministry, and  spiritual growth  for  its  members—under  the  stable  leadership  of  only  four  lead  pastors.  The Mission Statement calls people to “Belong to Jesus, Thrive in Jesus, and Go with Jesus.” The lead pastor is joined by a youth and family pastor, an associate pastor, and a director of music. The official board of elders and deacons oversees the ministries.

Lying  on  a  twenty-acre  parcel,  MBC  houses  an  800-seat  worship  center  that  is  flanked  by administration  and  educational  wings.  The  facility  also  includes  classrooms,  a  multi-purpose gymnasium, kitchen, outdoor pavilion, and ball diamond.

The Flushing Community With an affordable cost of living, Flushing is a nice suburban town for raising a family. The city is located one hour north of Detroit, two hours east of Grand Rapids, one hour west of Canada, and two hours south of prime recreation locations. These “up north” locations offer an abundance of hunting, fishing, and recreational opportunities. The state motto, “Pure Michigan,” describes our forests and the clear waters that surround the state on three sides.
