Description du poste

Woodville Community Church, a church family of approximately 136 individuals, is prayerfully seeking a full-time Senior Pastor who will faithfully preach the Word, shepherd the congregation, lead with vision, and help equip the church for renewed gospel mission in the community.

We are not merely seeking a pastor to maintain existing ministries. We are praying for a difference‑maker — a spiritually mature shepherd‑leader who loves Christ, loves the local church, and has a genuine burden to reach people with the gospel. The ideal candidate will be committed to biblical preaching, pastoral care, elder‑led leadership, congregational health, evangelism, discipleship, and community engagement.

Our location near Big Rapids and Ferris State University provides a meaningful opportunity for gospel outreach among students, young adults, families, and the broader community. We desire a pastor who sees this opportunity, is excited by it, and can help mobilize the church to build relationships, serve our neighbors, and proclaim Christ with clarity, courage, and love.
