Ministry Positions
|
|
We have several positions that need to be filled. If you are interested please email me and send us your resume. At this time in our birthing of our church, NO positions are paid positions. If you are wondering, that includes the pastor.This is a new church, with just a handful of people. If money is your only reason for being in the ministry, then you are in the wrong line of work. Money and benefits are the LAST thing that should concern you when considering a ministry. Matthew 6:31-34 "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." If you are God called, and in God's will he will take care of you with no pay, more than if you had a great benifit package and plenty of money. You may say, "I have to take care of my family." God is the one taking care of your family, not you. Our job is to be in the center of His will and trust Him at what he does the best, and a whole lot better than us. 1 Timothy 6:6-12 "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and piereced themselves through with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses." 2 Corinthins 8:9 "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." As the church grows, certainly most positions will be paid positions. For that to happen though, someone has to "bite the bullet" and get to work just because they want to serve God. This means you will need to get a job if you move here. I myself am doing this very thing that I am asking you to do. I work forty hours a week. Plus take care of the church obligations and go visting and knocking on doors. My wife, Beth, home schools all three of our daughters, and is the secretary for the church. She also works in our neighborhood to help ladies with their problems in life. Amy our youngest daughter, who is fourteen, babysits for our neighbors across the street. She uses this money to buy her clothes. Hannah our oldest daughter is almost eighteen and she works at Subway. She uses her money to buy our groceries every week. This allows many opportunities to share Christ with others and invite them to church. Why do I mention all of this, you may ask? To let you know that I want ask you to do anything that I'm not willing to do. If I did, I would be a hypocrite, and I believe we have enough of those already in churches today. Philippians 4:9 "Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." This is a GREAT opportunity to get in on the ground floor in building a work for God. I hope and pray that God will help you in your decision in contacting us. Thanks. Pastor Marc

All positions at Amazing Grace Baptist Church must be born again Christians. It's a shame that I even have to mention the obvious. Some churches will let anyone hold a position, such as a piano player, just because of who they are kin to in the church, or they have great talent. That's not what the Bible teaches. They also must hold to the King James Version only. NO exceptions. They must be a member of our church. All other requirements are listed below individually under the position being listed. Thanks.

Associate Pastor
Youth Pastor
Music Director/Song Leader
Piano Player
Associate Pastor
This position is only for a man, according to The Word of God found in I Timothy 3, and in Titus 1, along with other places. He must also meet these qualifications mentioned in these chapters. He does not have to be perfect, just “blameless.” It goes without saying that first of all he has to be saved and baptized Scripturally. He also has to believe that the King James Version is the Word of God, that it is without error, and does not need to be corrected or to be updated. If you are shaky on this issue don’t contact me and waste my time or yours, I want give. You will be my right hand man for whatever I need. At the same time you will be given responsibilities that you will be responsible for, such as: overseeing others on staff, teaching, preaching when asked, soul winning, bus ministry, etc. You may have noticed that I didn’t mention education, which is done so on purpose. I really don’t care about your education. What I am concern with is your stand on the Word of God and music, your salvation, your love for God and His Word, have you lost your first love God, your love for the lost, your submissiveness, your prayer life, can you follow the leader, are you two faced, can you keep your mouth shut, can you be trusted, are you a racist, are you afraid of hard work, your habits, do you have self control, your goals, your character, etc. I don’t care if you know Greek and Hebrew forwards and backwards. I’ve seen and read after those men, and they couldn’t win a lost man in hell if given the chance. Most people who go to college now are “brainwashed” to believe that the Bible has errors, that Contemporary Music is okay, that it’s wrong to be “preachy”, that we can build a church by working in the community like picking up paper and cutting grass, that old fashion soul winning wont work, that the name Baptist should be taken off the sign, that we should all just get along, that we should turn our hell fire and brimstone preaching into positive speeches , that preaching should be turned into worship services, that we should not have Sunday night services, that all music is neutral, that the earth is million of years old, that spanking your children is being cruel, that we should become like the world to win them, that women should be preachers and deacons, that women can dress anyway they want, that homosexuals can serve in the church, that God only looks at the heart, etc. All of that is hogwash. These are doctrines of the world and of hell. I think it’s pretty clear what I am looking for: a man of God that is saved and not ashamed of it, a deep commitment and determination to win the lost from going to hell, a King James Bible defender, a hell fire and brimstone, Independent Fundamental Baptist Preacher.

Music Director/Song Leader
We are looking for someone who is able to lead the song service and help prepare the hearts of people before the preaching. Music is to prepare the heart of the people before the preaching of the Word of God. Music is not to entertain. You would be responsbile for having the songs prepared and in order before the service. We don't have any worship services. You will need to lead a choir and have specials prepared. Practice with the choir and special groups once a week. Being a leader and an example is a must.

Piano Player
This position does not pay any salary, and never will. First of all, playing the piano is a priviledge and opportunity to serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This is also a great chance to be involved in a new growing ministry. Next, because it is not a full time job. Meaning you don't have to quit a job to play the piano for the servies. Lastly, becuase the Bible teaches that some things in the House of God should be filled by God's Children just because they love God. 1Thessalonians 1:3 "Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;"
We only use "psalms, hymns, spiritual songs and some Southern Gospel music. Ephesians 5:19 "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord..." We are a old fashion church with old fashion beliefs, and we plan on staying that way. Music is one of the very first compromises in most Independenat and Southern Baptist churches. We allow NO contemporary music, NO "Christian rap", NO "Christian Rock". We hope you love the Lord and must become actively involved in leading people to Jesus as their Saviour. You will need to meet when the song leader, choir, and special groups meet. Matthew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." You may be talented and gifted with playing the piano, but your first duty and commision is to lead others to Christ. This position can be male or female.
