Iglesia El Buen Pastor, a Hispanic Baptist church with nearly 30 years of ministry, is prayerfully seeking a pastor to lead us into a season of revitalization and Gospel impact. Located in Forest, Mississippi, we serve a growing Hispanic population in Scott County and are excited to see how God will continue to use our congregation to share His love and truth.
Our next pastor will guide the church through a 5-7 year revitalization process with the goal of becoming a fully autonomous congregation. This includes providing spiritual leadership through preaching, teaching, and discipleship, as well as developing outreach strategies to effectively engage with the Hispanic community. The ideal candidate will have a heart for revitalization and a deep commitment to the Gospel, demonstrating strong relational and leadership skills to inspire and equip the church.
Fluency in Spanish is essential for this position, as it is the primary language of the congregation and community. While English fluency is not required, it is helpful, and we encourage candidates to pursue bilingual proficiency. The church is actively supported by the Scott County Baptist Association, which offers resources and guidance throughout this process.
If God is calling you to this opportunity, please send your resume, a brief philosophy of ministry, and references to scottbaptassn@gmail.com. For more information, contact Timothy “Bobo” Phillipson at 601-507-0420.
