Northwest Community Church (Malcolm, NE) Senior Pastor

Northwest Community Church (https://www.northwestcommunity.org) is seeking a full-time Senior Pastor to preach the Word of God and equip the saints for the work of the ministry. We are praying for a man who models a strong walk with Christ, has a clear calling to pastoral ministry and will lead our congregation in lifting up Jesus and loving each other. We desire him to have strong pulpit skills in exegetical and expository preaching and to be able to communicate the Bible clearly and practically. His primary responsibilities include providing spiritual leadership to the church through preaching, teaching, offering pastoral care and making visits as needed (see full job description for more details). A strong candidate should have a bachelor’s degree or above from a Bible college or theological seminary. At least five years of previous experience in a lead pastor role is preferred.

Who We Are

Affiliated with the Berean Fellowship of Churches, Northwest Community Church was founded in 1988 with a passion for reaching northwest Lancaster County (Nebraska) and the surrounding area with the Gospel of Christ while making disciples through Biblical instruction.

Our current staff includes a part-time Executive Pastor, a full-time Youth Pastor and a secretary.

Nearly 90 families call NCC home. With just under 100 members, the church has an average Sunday morning attendance of 155 with nearly 100 attending Sunday school on a weekly basis.

NCC has a strong reputation for serving children and youth in the community. Our Wednesday after school children’s ministry averages 130 students while our Wednesday night youth ministry reaches more than 80 students on a weekly basis.

NCC has active women’s and men’s ministries. We also have a number of growth groups that meet regularly.

NCC supports eight missionary families that are boldly sharing God’s truth globally and domestically.

Where We Are

The village of Malcolm, located about 10 miles northwest of Nebraska’s capital city has a population of 480. The village is surrounded by farms and acreages and the Branched Oak Lake state recreation area just three miles to the north. As a bedroom community to Lincoln, most of Malcolm’s residents, if not farmers or employees of the school district, commute to Lincoln for work. The Pre-K through high school enrollment of Malcolm Public Schools is around 640 students. The average class size is between 50-55 students.
