In general, the duties of the pastor shall be to preach and teach the Word of God faithfully, administer the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, care faithfully for the spiritual life of the church and seek to evangelize the unsaved. To use a biblical analogy, it’s to be a shepherd to lead and feed the flock.

This person must be a people person. He must be able to adequately handle the word of God and preach it in a way that is engaging and dynamic. Our church needs someone strong in evangelism to rebuild this church to what it once was. He should be a good teacher. He must be a self-starter who is well-organized.

• Focus: Thoroughly Biblical & Culturally Relevant from 1 Chron 12:32

Purpose: We use GEMS – Grow in grace & knowledge, Engage in ministry, Magnify the Lord, Share the gospel.

Ministry Intern

Lacey Bible Church

Olympia Metro Area, Western WA

Lacey Bible Church is a small but rapidly growing church in the South Puget Sound region of Washington State. It is 12 minutes from the state capital in Olympia, and 17 minutes from Joint Base Lewis McChord (JBLM), the 4th largest military installation worldwide. We are 50 miles south of downtown Seattle, or about an hour depending on traffic.

Our Church Mission: To make generations of disciples who love like Jesus. We find a mission all throughout the Scriptures– bringing the grace, truth, and love of God to our world. Our goal is to create a church that lives on mission continually to reach out to the next generation.

What we are looking for: We are growing and want to start developing future leaders. As we add more staff positions we’d like to hire folks we already know rather than strangers. Thus, we want to bring some folks on board to join our team in a part-time capacity now as interns while they finish school or they are just getting started in ministry. The goal is to have folks stay for a least a year (or more) so that we can invest in their development and we can evaluate if they might be a good future fit for our team. We are open to single guys, gals as well as married couples. We have housing on our campus– a nice two-bedroom 1100 sqft parsonage– that we are envisioning as the primary compensation initially.

Qualifications:
● A clear understanding and ability to communicate the gospel–and the willingness to do so.
● A clear understanding of our walk as believers by means of grace–and who are doing so.
● A relational and philosophy of ministry match with our current team.
● Servant leader, self-starting team player, with a positive can-do attitude.
● Completed, or completing, or starting formal Bible training with the intent to serve in ministry.
● Willingness to attend and make Lacey Bible Church your church.

Specific Tasks:
1. Live in a way that respects Jesus and the truth of the Bible– morally, ethically, and relationally.
2. Work part-time with the church pastoral team (10-20 hours per week), specific areas to depend on gifting and experience some possibilities:
● Growing, finding, and cultivating musicians and helping lead worship
● Investing in families and youth and helping raise up the next generation
● Leading serving and gospel outreach in the community
● Counseling and helping those hurting in the community
● Being a relational disciple-maker in a multigenerational church family
● Being an evangelist through new relationships
● Teaching a class or perhaps preaching on a Sunday morning
3. Work part-time in the secular world (10-30 hours per week) to develop an understanding of the local culture, expand your circle of influence, and help provide for yourself financially. This time may be substituted with school or seminary depending on where you are at in the process.

Skip this job posting if you:
● Don’t believe the only means of receiving the free gift of eternal life is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Son of God, who died on the cross as our substitute, fully satisfying the requirement for our justification, and was raised from the dead.
● Hold a strong reformed Calvinistic perspective (We love you, but 5 pointers need not apply).
● Hold a strong complementarian perspective (i.e.: if you don’t think women should be formally serving as leaders in ministry this won’t be a good fit.).
● Allegorize the Scriptures (i.e.: try to make it mean something other than what the original author intended to his original audience).
● Are overwhelmingly introverted (Ministry involves people.).
● Need micromanagement (We don’t have time for it.).
● Cannot handle amazing summers: hiking, biking, kayaking, mountains, or the beach.

Take a good close read at our doctrine to make sure you are aligned with us: https://www.laceybiblechurch.org/what-we-believe-teach/
Take a look at these core values and ask yourself if they resonate with you: https://www.laceybiblechurch.org/values/
If you haven’t already, look around the website. Watch a sermon. Listen to the music. Is this a place you’d fit into? If so, send me your resume: jeremy@laceybiblechurch.org and we’ll get a conversation started.
