Following the dismissal for cause of our founding and lead pastor of 23 years, Vintage is

entering a new chapter of ministry and leadership. We’re looking for a pastor who can help

lead Downtown into that next chapter with humility, wisdom, and a heart for people. An

Working alongside local elders and a dedicated staff team, you’ll guide the congregation’s

ministry priorities, build relationships in the city, and help create a church community that

welcomes doubters, seekers, and followers of Jesus. You’ll also collaborate with Vintage’s

Lead Pastor and other local pastors in our shared mission across the Triangle and beyond.

Our ideal candidate brings:

• A vibrant relationship with Jesus and the character qualifications of a biblical elder.
• At least five years of pastoral experience, including substantial preaching, shepherding,

and staff leadership.

• A record of clear, gospel-centered preaching and developing others for ministry.
• Humility, relational warmth, teachability, and a commitment to shared leadership.

We’re seeking someone ready to put down roots and invest in Vintage Downtown for at

least five years.
