Senior Pastor - Updated 10/18/2007

Rolla Baptist Church (affiliated with the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada) is actively seeking an additional Pastor to provide teaching and leadership to a congregation of 250. We are located in the Peace region of northeastern British Columbia. While rural in setting, we gather from considerable distances and have a wide reach into several communities. We are a diverse congregation, from young families to the elderly, from brand new believers to those mature in Christ and from various backgrounds & walks of life. Currently we provide a wide spectrum of ministries, including small group bible studies, Sunday School & a vibrant children’s bus ministry, youth ministry, support for single parents and an active Ladies fellowship. With several people from our own congregation in foreign fields, we are also strongly missions minded. As we have grown, we have come to recognize that a congregation of our size and diversity is a significant challenge. We are creating a second pastoral position to address the needs in which we find we are falling short.
