Apply for Senior Pastor
Please fill out the details below and attach your documents to submit your application.
Prospect Church | Covington, GA 30016
Our Calling
We are a Gospel-centered, non-denominational body of believers seeking a Shepherd to lead us closer to the heart of Jesus Christ. We are looking for a Senior Pastor who is first and foremost a follower of Jesus, called to feed His sheep, lead His mission, and reflect His love to a world in need of hope.
The Heart of the Role
This is a role for a pastor with a servant’s heart—someone who can balance the weight of leadership with the tenderness of pastoral care. You will be the primary teacher and visionary, guiding our staff and ministries as a spiritual elder and leader under the authority of Christ.
Key Responsibilities
- Word & Worship: Lead and provide Christ-centered teaching for Sunday and Wednesday services, ensuring every message points the congregation back to the Gospel of Jesus.
- Vision & Spiritual Leadership: Seek the Lord’s direction to set the vision for our church, ensuring our ministries are healthy, vibrant, and aligned with Biblical truth.
- Shepherding the Flock: Prioritize deep pastoral care. This includes visiting the sick in hospitals, calling members in times of need, and providing spiritual counsel to those walking through life’s trials.
- Staff & Ministry Mentorship: Manage and shepherd our staff and ministry leaders, fostering a culture of prayer, unity, and shared purpose in Christ.
- The Great Commission: Serve as a vocal, local presence in our community. You will lead the charge in evangelism, reaching the “least and the lost” with the message of Jesus.
- Biblical Compassion: Actively lead our efforts to care for the widows and the orphans, ensuring they are never forgotten in our church or our city.
Who You Are
- A Devoted Follower: Your life is defined by your relationship with Jesus and a desire to see His Kingdom grow.
- A Shepherd: You don’t just lead from the pulpit; you walk among the people. You have a genuine love for people and a “boots-on-the-ground” approach to ministry.
- A Visionary Elder: You can see where the Lord is leading and have the spiritual maturity to take the congregation there.
- A Compassionate Evangelist: You have a burning fire to reach those far from God and a heart that breaks for the marginalized.
- Locally Rooted: The ideal candidate resides within the local community. All candidates must live within 30 miles of the church or be willing to relocate.
