Position DescriptionLansdowne Community Baptist Church (LCBC) is a vibrant, Christ-centred church that meets in Edmonton, Alberta.
It is near the university campus and is surrounded by established neighbourhoods and schools. LCBC is a dual-congregational church (Mandarin and English, totalling around weekly attendees) with its English congregation having an average Sunday attendance of 70-80 from all ages.
The English congregation is predominantly made up of English-speaking Chinese people along with other ethnic groups including Caucasians and Filipinos.
We have a contemporary worship style. Our vision is to reach out to the multi-ethnic neighbourhoods and to two separate new mid-to-high density communities being built by the local university and private developers.
The vacancy in the pastoral position was a result of the current English ministry pastor moving on after completing 4 blessed years of ministry.
LCBC is now seeking to fill the position with a pastor who identifies with our vision and statement of faith (lcbc.ab.ca / en / faith.
