Chalybeate Springs Baptist Church, located in Northwest Harnett County, NC, is seeking a Man of God as a fulltime Pastor.  We are a member of the Little River Baptist Association as well as the North Carolina and Southern Baptist Convention and are supportive of their various Missions efforts.

Chalybeate Springs Baptist Church has been in existence for 151 years and is a traditional, conservative Southern Baptist Church and subscribes with the doctrinal statement of Southern Baptist Convention, The Baptist Faith and Message, adopted in 1963. Our membership is approximately 275, with an average post-Covid attendance of less than 100 for Sunday morning worship.  We have a long history of the usual ministries in the church and are led by the Senior Pastor, together with a fellowship of both Godly men and women deacons to achieve a congregational rule model.  It has never been addressed in our bylaws to utilize the use of the title of “elders” as a ministerial body as our deacon ministry fulfills this role for our church’s mission.

The qualified candidate must be capable of leading our body of believers in the knowledge, understanding and instructions of God’s word through preaching, pastoring, Bible Study, visitation and staff management.  Suitable biblical education and prior ministry experience is required but previous qualified associate pastors will be considered depending on the circumstance.  A family sized parsonage is available if necessary.
