VACANT CHURCHES - CHURCHES SEEKING PASTORS

[Pastor John H. Young, Sr]

Lets be a blessing to our fellow co-laborers as well as the various congregations around the country that are seeking leadership. Please provide as much information as you may have to better inform the applicant about the church they may wish to seek a position from.

ALL DENOMINATIONS WELCOME!

***Please refrain from soliciting preaching engagements in this discussion. The intent is to provide information about pastoral vacancies. If you would like to submit your credentials for consideration by the pulpit committee, follow proper protocol by submitting the following:

A Cover letter, Resume, Audio or Video of a recent Sermon (or two), and Picture. Usually the committee will contact you (if interested) to speak at an upcoming Sunday service. You will then have the opportunity to meet the congregation as they will also get the same to meet you.

Its called BUILDING A RELATIONSHIP! Sheep are not as dumb as you think, so be yourself, they can smell a phony. (There is one thing a sheep knows... Another sheep!) Hope this helps those who are seeking their first pastorate.

If and when someone gets called, share the praise report...

RE: Senior Pastor


Dear Members of the Pastoral Search Committee


The objectivity of a Pneumatic Chieftain is fundamentally fastened on procuring knowledge for the maturation of the laity. Consequently, whatever the laity has as the potential to germinate into is a direct indication of what’s being expostulated by the Pastor.

What is growth or spiritual maturation, and how is it possible? Growth is the process of increase or extension, made possible by the words of Peter the Apostle, in 1 Peter 2:2, as newborn babies desiring the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow. When the declaration of God’s word is through an uncontaminated vessel along with the interpretation of the text from an unadulterated premise, is only when growth is possible.

Right character, integrity in one’s personal life and astute learning empowers the leader to be the conduit by which God infuses him or her to impart the mind of God into the believer. Intellectual and eloquent speaking, though good, does not carry the weight for one’s wanton lifestyle. Gifted and talented preaching excites and inspires, but has no dumatikos for deliverance.

What is this candidate’s position then? To fulfill God’s first demand which is self-examination which brings self-alteration continuously. Secondly, to promulgate the same message to each hearer, giving each the potential for change. Thirdly, to expand the community with God fearing members while continuing the vision enacted by the past leadership, and until that is accomplished, the vision of this candidate for this ministry must take second place, as God spoke to Joshua when taking the reins after Moses.




Sincerely, Yours in Christ

Objective

My objective is to lead a congregation of Bible believers into a deeper and revelatory relevancy for this age. To teach from an in-depth of wisdom and profundity, expounding exhaustively on the didactics of the bible. To create a Godly-centered worship experience, to facilitate the five areas of our daily life with scriptural information, this gives way to better life style. To establish, fortify and continue to empower our youth for the betterment of our society, allowing them to have better opportunities for success. To use everything in my power to further the kingdom of Christ Jesus with an attempt to prepare his body, this is the church, for his return.
How would this be contrived? Firstly, by continuing to invest in our urchin and those enthusiastic who are at the age of ignorance. This candidate has worked first handed with the Essex County of New Jersey’s Youth Detention Center, encouraging and interacting with those incarcerated from the age of 12years old to 17 years of age.
Secondly, to continuing working with the homeless in feeding shelters. Feeding and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, while helping them sociologically. Convincing and persuading them to look beyond their present state and cultivate and re-develop any and every gift and talent they have to alleviate and at best handle their present circumstance.
Thirdly, continue visiting drug and rehabilitation facilities to strengthening those addicted to substance abuse, sharing also my 20 years freedom from this burden and demonic infiltration.
Fourthly, continue visiting senior citizen housing complex, allowing the seniors a chance to experience the awesomeness of God’s word and presence. To take communion and prayer to those who have paved the way. And Last but not least, continue visiting the hospitals and shut in, providing bible’s along with CD and DVD’S of the ministry.

Interests

My interests include reading, studying and writing. I have just completed my 3rd book entitled The Theological Approach to Spiritual Warfare, which was preceded by two other works, entitled...What Does that mean? Part 1@2, in which are compendiums.

What I believe
Firstly, this candidate believes emphatically in the authenticity of the bible. That it is the word of God, that there is no error in it, that if consulted it can and will give us direction and answer’s to meet our economical, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs. For instance, Exodus 22:25 gives us a command…If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. This candidate believes that one of the reasons which caused the economical meltdown in 2008, was that everyone was exacting usury, which in the Hebrew language means interest. Credit cards, car loan’s and more importantly Home mortgages had so much interest added besides over pricing, which lead to what we are now trying to dig ourselves from under.
Secondly, Genesis 1:1 states, in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. This candidate does not believe this verse commences to explain the existence of God rather it explains the creatorial formation of God. That God is the ultimate Supreme Being neither created or made, he is all wise, all powerful and everywhere present. That God alone directs the affairs and destiny of man, while he can and does instigate all changes, however, has left some decisions to the will of man. This candidate believes in the God of the bible, the God of Adam and Eve, God of Noah, Nimrod, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the twelve tribes of Israel, even though they decided to worship other God’s.
Thirdly, Genesis 1:27 said, God created male and female, along with Genesis 2:18…It is not good for man to be alone, Genesis 2:22…and the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. It is this candidate’s belief that woman was made for man, and that this is the only union of which God is approved of. Genesis 1:28 states and God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply which also gives way to reproduction of life, and that man and woman are the instruments by which God uses to populate the earth.
Fourthly, this candidate believes in private worship which makes way for corporate worship and Divinely adoration. This is from a combination of lifestyle and adherence to the bible. Life consists not of the things gained, but the words of God. Real worship is not just through song, but honest obedience and submission to God, by the denial of one’s will to only be used to perform the will and desires of God. When one submits to spirit and truth they are considered a true worshipper as stated in John 4:23.

PERSONAL STATEMENT OF SALVATION AND CALL TO MINISTRY:

I was raised in a Christian
household. My great grandmother ensured that I was acquainted with the teachings of Christ and the church during my childhood. Subsequently, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at an early age. I was highly active in church from that point forward. At the age of 14, I diligently began to seek the knowledge of Christ through personal relationship and His word. On my16th birthday, I accepted what I consider a divine call to the Pastoral, Preaching, and Teaching Gospel ministry. This is where I started on a proactive path toward Christian leadership training, Pastoral care training, Doctrinal education, and the preaching of the Gospel message. I have been steadfast in the faith ever since this start. Under the supervision and charge of wonderful elders and Pastors, I have grown tremendously in faith and practice. Subsequently, my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and His righteousness.

 

MINISTRY STATEMENT:

As believers, we are all called to always be ready to give a reason as to the hope that we have. (1 Peter 3:15) Thus, as one called to specific office in the body, the charge to equip the saints is of utmost importance. (Eph. 4:12-13) The overarching goal of ministry is found in 2 Corinthians 5:18-20.  God desires that people live lives indicative of his presence, leadership, and an unequivocal faith in Him. Effective ministry develops mature Christians able to withstand, endure, triumph, and ultimately represent the embodiment of God’s will for humanity. Apart from the Word of God, this is not possible. Therefore, study and practice of the sacred scripture is necessary for proper nourishment and growth. (2 Tim. 2:15) It is after such steadfastness that we are able to truly appreciate the byproduct of God’s grace toward us. (Colossians 2:6-7)

 

DOCTRINAL BELIEF: (John 1:1)

I believe in God the Father, who, in His sovereignty rules over all. I believe in Jesus the Son (death, buried, resurrected, and ascended), who came to offer eternal life to those who repent, believe, and faithfully obey him. I believe in the active presence of the Holy Spirit, who effectively works in the lives of believers. I believe the KJV Bible to be the infallible and inspired Word of God, sufficient for the needs of the believer and the universal church, including growth in holiness and righteousness unto the Lord.
