Senior Pastor

Tabernacle Baptist Church is a warm, growing and community focussed church family in the coastal town of Penarth, just outside of Cardiff.

In recent years we have seen encouraging signs of God at work among us. New people have joined, baptisms have increased, younger families are beginning to arrive, and our youth ministry is flourishing. Alongside this, there is a growing awareness of God’s presence in our midst, together with an increasing expectation and desire that God will bless us spiritually.

We are a church that seeks to be Bible-based and Spirit-filled. God’s Word is foundational to all we are and seek to become, and we recognise that without the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit we can accomplish nothing of eternal value.

At "Tabs" we seek to cultivate a strong sense of family. We aspire to be a church where people of every age, background and culture feel welcomed, valued and encouraged to grow in faith.

At the heart of our church life is a desire to help people become wholehearted followers of Jesus Christ and to make a meaningful impact in our community.

We believe God has been laying strong foundations for the future, and we are excited about what lies ahead. We sense God calling us to be wholehearted, fearless and focused.

The Senior Pastor Role

We are seeking a Senior Pastor who:

·        Loves Jesus deeply and invests in their own spiritual walk

·        Can lead with humility, courage and a servant heart.

·        Is passionate about biblical preaching with the ability to apply it to daily life

·        Is Spirit-dependent,

·        Values teamwork and collaboration,

·        Has a heart for people of all ages and enjoys building relationships,

·        Has a heart for mission and evangelism, and,

·        Is prepared to lead by example and engage fully in the life of the church and community.

The successful candidate will take the main responsibility for Sunday teaching, vision, leadership and helping the church engage more effectively with the wider community.

The church has many gifted people already serving faithfully, and one of the key responsibilities of the new minister will be to encourage, develop and release others into ministry and leadership.

An entrepreneurial and evangelistic mindset would be particularly valued as we seek to build on the strong foundations already in place.

Whilst organisational ability is important, we are blessed with gifted administrators and supportive leaders within the fellowship.

Above all else, we are seeking a person of character, someone whose private life reflects the message they preach publicly.

Salary range of £35,000 to £40,800, plus pension, plus flexible housing options
