Pastor of English Ministry

Position DescriptionAbout UsPickering Community Baptist Church (PCBC) is a hospitality-driven, prayer-focused, warm and friendly church that meets in Pickering, Ontario. Nestled in a multi-ethnic suburb of Toronto, our church is aiming to become a community church reflective of our surroundings. PCBC started out as a Chinese church, but grew over time to have both a Chinese-speaking congregation and an English-speaking congregation. Over the last two years, our English-speaking congregation has diversified, reflecting the community we live in. Our church is alive and growing with salvations, multiple baptisms and new members joining the church. The English-Speaking congregation has an average attendance of 50 people on a Sunday morning, while the Chinese-speaking congregation has slightly more. We have a contemporary worship style. Our vision is to continue to become a community church reflecting the diversity in our area, and reach others with the gospel.

Position Description

We’re looking for a pastor who can take our church with its new members, new Christians and budding leadership into the next phase. We are looking for a relational pastor who loves and fears God and cares for His people deeply. Someone who preaches and teaches the Word of God– not just a motivational speaker who uses spiritual lingo. Someone who shepherds and oversees willingly by eagerly being an example. Someone who is able to gather our team of leaders together to implement effective outreach strategies, further develop our vision for the church, and facilitate meaningful small groups.
