Abundant Life Baptist Church (Washington, PA) – Senior Pastor

The Big Picture

Abundant Life Baptist Church (www.albc.church) is a healthy congregation of 250 (pre-covid) seeking a Senior Pastor who will be responsible for ministering to the spiritual needs of the congregation through expository preaching, biblically rooted counseling and overseeing the various ministries of the church to ensure each one is operating in a manner consistent with biblical principles.

The Church

Abundant Life Baptist Church began in 1902 with around a core of 50. The church is currently in a new, 20-year-old building (paid for). And 3 years ago we doubled our size, adding classrooms, administrative offices, and a large multi-purpose area. During the years since our beginning, many different ministries have been active in the church and in the community. Our children's and youth programs have been very well attended and there are many opportunities for worship, fellowship, discipleship, and more at the church. The Christian Education Department is strong with trained teachers and nursery care workers. Our choir and praise team add spiritual enrichment to our worship services. It is the hope of the congregation and leadership that we will be known for our love and the spread of the gospel of Jesus Christ as we live the abundant life.
