GBC in Howe, IN, Looking for Lead Pastor

Lead Pastor

The body of believers at Brighton Chapel in Howe, IN, is seeking the man called by God to fill the position of Lead Pastor at our church.

Brighton Chapel is a vibrant, family-oriented church that is on the grow with roots seated deeply in the conservative, rural farming community of Brighton in northeastern LaGrange County, Indiana. We stand out because of our strong worship and youth programs and our effective small group ministries.

We are a unified and healthy church that recently became an affiliate of the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches. Our vision is to reach up in intimate worship of God, to compassionately reach out to the community and to reach in for authentic fellowship with our brethren.

Our church averages an attendance upwards of 200 in Sunday morning worship with the most prevalent demographics being the married thirty-somethings and their children in the zero to ten age group. We recently completed a building project that included the addition of classrooms, offices and a new foyer.

We have a strong foundation in biblical preaching and teaching and strive to provide concrete instruction for the application of biblical principles in everyday living. Our congregation is seeking a man who is a passionate preacher with dynamic leadership skills. He should be of an age that will enable him to relate well to the young adults of our church. He should have well-developed interpersonal relations skills and be willing to spend time with the members of his flock. He should also be self-motivated and organized.

Candidates who feel this may be a good match for their gifts and skills should submit a resume and digital (CD, DVD, MP3) copy of a sermon they have delivered to Rev. Kenneth Bickel at kebickel@grace.edu. If a CE or DVD needs to be mailed, it should be sent to: 1115 S. 8th Street, Goshen, IN 46526.
