SENIOR PASTOR. First Baptist Church of Greenville, Illinois, is looking for a pastor who will love us as we are and help us discern what comes next. We are a small, warm, older American Baptist congregation where people say church “feels like family.” Our dinner church draws more people than Sunday worship, and our Clothing Closet served over a thousand neighbors last year. We are honest about our challenges: an aging membership, tight finances, and real questions about our future. We are not seeking a savior, but a partner. This part-time position includes a parsonage and suits a bi-vocational pastor or anyone seeking a focused, sustainable ministry in a rural county seat an hour from St. Louis. https://www.churchstaffing.com/job/54a25849-c038-4895-b8c2-839740e35c8f/pastor-first-baptist-church-of-greenville-il/american-baptist-churches-of-the-great-rivers-region (Posted 10.1.26)

First Baptist Church of Virden, Illinois (ABC-USA), is seeking a bi-vocational pastor to shepherd a warm, multigenerational congregation of about 30 with a big heart for its community.

We’re praying for a pastor who will preach faithfully, care for people through life’s seasons, and equip lay leaders to serve. Located 25 miles south of Springfield, Virden is ideal for a pastor employed in the capital area. https://www.churchstaffing.com/job/0f47fb8d-cc0a-416d-9554-b9b1a22b750c/pastor-first-baptist-church-of-virden-il/american-baptist-churches-of-the-great-rivers-region (Posted 10.1.26)
