Job description

Grace Bible Church in Berne, Indiana, is prayerfully seeking an Associate Pastor of Preaching, Teaching, and Ministry to join a healthy, Bible-centered congregation committed to helping people become authentic followers of Jesus Christ. For more than sixty-five years, Grace Bible has faithfully proclaimed God’s Word while investing in discipleship, meaningful relationships, and ministry both locally and around the world. As the church continues to grow and expand its leadership, this is an exciting opportunity to help further and grow its next season of ministry.

Serving alongside Senior Pastor Jeff Gaskill and the church’s leadership, the Associate Pastor will share in preaching and teaching, pastoral care, leadership development, Community Groups, and with some oversight of the church’s children’s and youth ministries. This role offers the opportunity to help equip believers, develop leaders, and strengthen the church’s culture of biblical discipleship.

Grace Bible Church combines strong biblical conviction with a genuine heart for people. The church is committed to expositional preaching, Christ-centered worship, intentional discipleship, prayer, and missions. Recent initiatives—including the expansion of Tiny Treasures of Grace, growing partnerships with Free and Safe Indonesia, and continued investment in ministry facilities—reflect a congregation committed to faithfully stewarding every opportunity God provides.

Berne offers the warmth of a close-knit, family-oriented community while remaining within easy reach of larger regional cities. It is an excellent place to build lasting relationships, raise a family, and invest in long-term ministry.

The pastor who will thrive at Grace Bible loves God’s Word, shepherds people with humility, values collaborative leadership, and desires to make disciples across generations. If that reflects both your calling and your convictions, we would be honored to begin a conversation with you.
