Lake Charles Bible Church (Lake Charles, LA) Senior Pastor
THE BIG PICTURE
Lake Charles Bible Church (******************** is seeking a full-time Senior Pastor to preach the Word of God and shepherd the people of God.
Requirements
About LCBC
LCBC is a faithful and enduring body. We began as multiple home meetings in the early 1930's, then worked together to rent a chapel and hold our first service as an interdenominational church in 1934 in Lake Charles. The congregation has had five pastors since 1949. Phil Carpenter is our current pastor who has shepherded the flock for twenty-eight years and is planning to retire when we find the next man God has for us.
Our congregation has been a resilient one. There have been three buildings. Fire and flood moved us from our first building in the 50's, and now floods and hurricanes have moved us from our last one in 2021. Our new building is currently being built. This one will be on a very high property with a back yard of 100-year-old live oaks. We eagerly anticipate being back in our own home building.
Our faithful body has 74 active members and about one hundred people who attend worship on an average Sunday. Our body is elder-led and supported by deacons. We hold that the main purposes of the church are evangelism, discipleship, and worship. To help accomplish these goals we have organized ministries of Sunday School, worship team, small groups, men and women's ministries, Awana, youth and college ministries. In 1976, the church joined the Independent Fundamental Churches of America (IFCA), so that people moving into the Lake Charles area would know of its location. We have relationships with two camp ministries. Our local Camp Pearl provides retreats and camps to our body, and our body supports the camp financially and physically with volunteers. We also provide the comprehensive staff for a week of camp every summer at Bertram Bobb Bible Camp in Oklahoma as an annual, church-wide mission trip. We support multiple full-time international missionaries as well.
Senior pastor role description:
โข Serve as the preaching and teaching elder, weekly providing sermons with an emphasis on verse-by-verse, literal, exegetical preaching from a dispensational, free grace viewpoint.

โข Serve as one of the elders of the church.

โข Lead by example, fostering a culture of love, faith, and service.
โข Encourage and promote evangelism and missions based on the clear Gospel message of grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
Senior pastor role qualifications:
โข Meet the qualifications of Timothy 3:1-7; Titus1:5-9; and 1 Peter 5:1-5.
โข Possess biblical and theological knowledge, preferably from seminary training, Bible college or systematic training within a local church.
โข Experience shepherding a church through the pastorate or active eldership.
โข Must affirm and be in agreement to the LCBC statement of faith.
โข Must love others and have a position of humility and service.
