Redeemer seeks an Assistant Pastor who loves God and people. He must be a committed Christian
with a life marked by worship, humility, prayer, faith, and repentance. He should have a distinct sense
of calling to the ministry, particularly to preach and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to disciple
people. He should long to see the Lord bring people to faith, and to sanctify the saints, through the
ordinary means of grace. He should be very relational, and comfortable working with the senior pastor, elders, deacons, and other leaders in an environment where he can gain valuable experience and grow as a shepherd of God’s flock. Some prior ministry experience is preferred, and he needs to be ordained or ordainable in the PCA.
