SENIOR PASTOR – COMMUNITY BAPTIST COWETA

Community Baptist Coweta (CBC) is seeking a spiritually mature, gospel-centered senior pastor who faithfully teaches God’s Word and genuinely loves His people. We desire a humble shepherd, compelling expository preacher, and collaborative leader who will unite generations, equip believers for ministry, and lead our church in evangelism, discipleship, and missions.

ABOUT US

We are a community of believers built around the cross who exists to point people to the cross, for that is where we find our identity, our purpose, our redemption, and our freedom. At Community, you will find just that, a community! We are a church of real people, with real hurts, real struggles, real brokenness, real problems, and real pain who have experienced and are experiencing real love, real mercy, real grace, real forgiveness and real salvation from a real Savior. We love God and, as an extension of that life-transforming love He has poured into each of our hearts, we love people.

Community Baptist Church became an autonomous church in August 2020 after beginning as a church plant in 2011 through a partnership between First Baptist Church of Broken Arrow and Emmanuel Baptist Church.

Since becoming autonomous, CBC has experienced incredible blessings and growth that we believe are a testimony to God’s faithfulness. Church attendance has quadrupled, and each year the church has seen an increase in salvations and baptisms compared to the previous year. God has continued to grow CBC both numerically and spiritually, and the church remains committed to reaching people with the Gospel, making disciples, and faithfully serving the community.

OUR DESIRES

We desire a pastor who faithfully teaches God’s Word with clarity, truth, and practical application, helping people grow deeper in their faith and discipleship. He should devote significant time to prayer, diligent study of Scripture, and thoughtful sermon preparation. His teaching and leadership should reflect a close relationship with Christ and confidence in God’s direction and provision.

We seek a pastor who sees CBC as a sending church—into our community, state, nation, and world. He should make prayer a priority in his own life and in the life of the church, demonstrate a passion for sharing the gospel, and equip and encourage the congregation to live out the Great Commission. His desire to see people come to know Jesus should shape his ministry both within the church and throughout the community.

Working alongside church staff and leaders, he should develop a clear path for our church to gather, grow, and go. We desire someone who prayerfully seeks God’s direction, communicates that vision clearly, brings people together around it, and translates it into thoughtful plans and achievable goals. He should build upon CBC’s strengths and heritage while helping the congregation embrace opportunities for discipleship, outreach, missions, ministry, and the development of future leaders.

We desire a pastor with a shepherd’s heart who loves the congregation and cares deeply for the spiritual well-being of every generation. He should intentionally engage younger generations and young families while continuing to value, honor, and minister to senior members. Through regular fellowship and an approachable, welcoming presence, he should build relationships in which people feel comfortable sharing their joys, struggles, and questions. He should encourage and protect those entrusted to his care, walking alongside them with empathy through difficult seasons and times of celebration.

We seek a pastor who provides ongoing discipleship, mentoring, and spiritual oversight for church staff and members. When difficult situations arise, he should prayerfully seek God’s wisdom and exercise sound judgment with compassion. Above all, he should lead with honesty, humility, and integrity, being the same person in the pulpit, in the community, and in his home.

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS

We are committed to providing our pastor with a competitive and comprehensive compensation package that reflects the responsibilities of the position, the pastor’s experience and qualifications, and the cost of living in our community. Our desire is to care well for our pastor and his family and provide the resources needed for him to serve effectively.
