Associate Pastor
Olivet Baptist Church
44 Maple Street, West Lebanon, NH 03784
Olivet Baptist Church, a traditional conservative Bible-believing Independent Baptist Church, located in
the Upper Valley of New Hampshire is praying for a called man of God to serve in our ministry as an
Associate Pastor. OBC has a congregation size of 80-100 parishioners with active children’s ministries
from nursery age through high school. We are committed to spreading the gospel and nurturing strong
discipleship. Our vision is for a younger man of God to join our church family and receive mentorship
and growth, with the expectation of assuming the role of Senior Pastor upon retirement of the current
Pastor. Salary information is available upon email request. The time commitment and effort may not
equate to a full-time position initially but will increase over time, allowing the Associate Pastor to
hold a part-time position outside the church for the first year or two.
Responsibilities:
1. Assist the Senior Pastor in leading and shepherding the congregation.
2. Preach and teach regularly, with the guidance and oversight of the Senior Pastor.
3. Provide pastoral care and counseling to church members.
4. Lead and oversee specific ministries, based on experience and need (i.e. Nursing home, Children’s Ministries, Music Ministry)
5. Engage actively in community outreach and evangelism efforts.
6. Collaborate with church leadership in strategic planning and decision making.
Qualifications:
1. A deep commitment to conservative Baptist theology and doctrine.
2. Ordained or eligible for ordination.
3. Formal seminary training in pastoral ministries (degree preferred)
4. Strong interpersonal and pastoral care skills.
5. Ability to connect and relate with all generations and possess an understanding of how to engage with today’s youth.
6. Willingness to engage in ongoing mentorship and training with Senior Pastor.
7. Experience in preaching and teaching.
8. Have a strong passion and heart for supporting missions.
If you feel called to the ministry, please prayerfully consider OBC. Submit a cover letter, resume and
any relevant preaching or teaching samples (video clips or links), to olivet603@gmail.com. In your
cover letter, please share your testimony, and your calling and vision for pastoral ministry. We
encourage you to review the Gospel, Doctrine, and Sermons pages at our church website linked above
before applying. Our desire and prayer is to find a young man of God who has a heart and calling to
serve a local body of believers. We look forward to reviewing your application and exploring the
possibility of you joining our ministry as we continue to impact lives for Christ in New Hampshire.
