A candidate shall be a Christian and an active member of a scripturally-based church. A Bachelor’s degree in Ministry, Bible, or a related field from an accredited seminary, five (5) years of paid ministry experience, and ordination by a Baptist church is required. He shall be Biblically qualified as defined in 1 and 2 Timothy and Titus. He must demonstrate a loving heart and live a Christ-centered, disciplined life. He should lead by personal example in prayer, discipleship, tithing, and reaching the lost, with the ability to organize and inspire and train others to do the same. A Masters of Divinity and/or experience as a pastor or associate pastor is preferred.
