Pastor Overview 

Pastor Overview 

We are seeking a man who loves God and loves people: believers and unbelievers. He is above
reproach, temperate, respectable and able to teach. He is eager to shepherd the sheep God has
entrusted to him, not because he must or because he’s paid to do so, but because God has called him to
do so. He is an example to the flock. He is hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-
controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He holds firmly to the Sovereign Grace and New Covenant
theology so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it.
