Ministry opportunities

Northcote Baptist is an evangelical church situated within the inner city area of Melbourne. The church has English and Mandarin speaking congregations—the English group is small but has great potential. The Chinese group grew out of the English work and is growing strongly, with two full-time pastors. Currently, there are two critical ministry needs:

English speaking Pastor: The church needs a pastor to lead and develop the English congregation. This person must be able to relate to all ages and work comfortably in a team ministry with the Chinese pastors. Ideally, the pastor will have the gift of evangelism.

Youth Worker (or Youth Pastor): A youth group was recently commenced and the church needs an experienced worker to lead, disciple and nurture high school and tertiary students.

The church has a conservative, evangelical stance. Faithful Bible teaching is essential. Applicants should have sound theological training and be sympathetic to Baptist emphasis in doctrinal matters.
