Job description

About Our Church

Comer Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist congregation in the small town of Comer, Georgia, serving our community since 1892. We are entering a new season under the leadership of a new pastor, with a renewed focus on Christ-centered expository preaching, congregational worship, and making disciples who make disciples. We have about 70 on a typical Sunday. Our church values faithfulness over flash, and we are excited about what God is doing among us.

About the Role

This role can also be a training ground for someone who wants it. If you sense a call to ministry and want to grow deeper in it, the Lead Pastor would love to invest in you through sermon reviews, reading together, conferences, and hands-on involvement in the broader work of pastoral ministry. If your calling is to music ministry specifically, that is just as welcome. We would be glad to have a faithful worship leader who loves the local church, wherever you are in your journey.
