Senior Pastor

Trail Christian Fellowship (TCF) is prayerfully seeking a Christ-centered Lead Pastor who will lovingly shepherd our congregation, faithfully teach God's Word, and equip others to grow as disciples and leaders of Jesus Christ.
We are looking for a humble, relational, and spiritually mature pastor who leads by example, values authentic relationships, and is passionate about seeing people transformed by the gospel. We desire a leader who will help cultivate a healthy, disciple-making church where leaders are developed, and the entire body is equipped to serve.
Our next Lead Pastor will be a shepherd first—someone who genuinely loves people, walks alongside them through life's joys and challenges, and leads with Christ's grace, humility, and character. He will be a faithful teacher of Scripture, committed to clear, Christ-centered, expository preaching that helps people understand God's Word and apply it to everyday life. He will also be a leader who develops other leaders, empowering pastors, staff, elders, and ministry volunteers to discover and use their God-given gifts.
We are prayerfully looking for a man who:
- Demonstrates a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and meets the biblical qualifications for pastoral leadership (1 Timothy 3:1–7; Titus 1:6–9).
- Is humble, approachable, relational, and committed to shepherding God's people.
- Has a deep love for Scripture and a demonstrated gift for expository preaching.
- Has a proven ability to disciple, mentor, and develop leaders.
- Values teamwork, shared ministry, and the equipping of the whole church.
- Communicates clearly and graciously across generations.
- Leads with wisdom, integrity, and a healthy balance of family, personal life, and ministry.
- Is an ordained minister who embraces TCF's mission, doctrinal statement, and governing documents.
- Holds a bachelor's degree in biblical studies or a related field, with a commitment to advanced theological education.
- A Master of Divinity or equivalent degree, along with experience leading a growing, multi-staff church, is preferred.
