Position of Pastor

Welcome to Beginning Point Church

This guide is meant to provide you with information about us as we seek the Lord’s direction for the man who God will call to help us reach out to best fulfill our mission: “Pointing Everyone to Jesus”

WHO WE ARE

A Bible-believing, Spirit-dependent, Gospel-preaching, Disciple-making and Jesus-following Family of God

For a full statement of our doctrine visit: https://www.beginningpointchurch.com/beliefs.html

Our Mission: "To be a Gospel witness and a light of Biblical truth, pointing everyone to Jesus.”

Our Values: “Be.Born.Again; Be.Spirit.Filled; More.Jesus”

Our Vision: “Gather; Grow; Give; GO”

Synopsis of the position:

Beginning Point Church is led by the Lord to continue outreach to Benton and the surrounding small communities including Hazel Green, Cuba City, Shullsburg and the outlying areas...a population of around 11,000 people. We are uniquely positioned, being centrally located in this area, as a church that is preaching the born-again Gospel of the Lord Jesus and fostering a conservative Biblical Kingdom-centered discipleship, based in the literal Truth of God’s Word and a dependency on the Holy Spirit

Beyond desire of congregation to grow spiritually we have a consensus to specifically concentrate on outreach and discipleship to the many young families and their children who are part of this area.

We feel the need now to address this emphasis by bringing aboard a pastor with the support of his wife and family who has passion and calling to reach and disciple young families and children for Christ.

The ideal pastor would be gifted in evangelism, preaching and teaching and who would have a real desire and plan in his heart to lead outreach to youth and their parents together for Christ.

The elder-led structure of this church is committed to setting this God-called pastor free from most administrative and “personnel concerns” of the congregation in order that he would be supported and empowered to minister with focus upon their passion and calling.

Admittedly, our congregation’s demographic is on the older side, but we do have a core of kids and a few young families that are hungry, serving and engaged. Nonetheless, this position is definitely for a self-starting, vision-driven, entrepreneurial Spirit-filled pastor who can see the future as God imparts His calling on their hearts and minds.

Regular ministry would be to continue to develop and expand our Wednesday Evening Kid’s Ministry, evangelistic events to reach kids, youth and families for Christ. Oversight, teaching and training related to the youth Sunday School ministry would also be required.

Initial Compensation $50,000 to $55,000 based on experience and competency
