Lead Pastor
Millersville BIC (Lancaster, PA)
About Millersville BIC
Millersville Brethren in Christ Church is a community of faith that seeks to love God and others. We are forming as Jesus followers, partnering with the local community, participating within a global context, and building a healthy church.
We gather for worship just on the outskirts of Millersville, Pa. If you’re driving out of town, we’re next door to a neighborhood and across from cornfields—uniquely situating us as next-door neighbors with local community members and with the rolling farmland that Lancaster County is known for.
We are a congregation of about 110 men, women, youth, and children, averaging 80 on a Sunday. While embracing growth, we lean into being a congregation on the smaller size, prioritizing authenticity, simplicity, and connection. We clearly sense God’s delight as we come together inter-generationally and create space for people of all ages to use their gifts and skills in worship and service.
We consider ourselves fairly informal, though we appreciate diverse expressions of worship, from contemporary music to hymns, and from impromptu prayers to more liturgical responsive readings. We’re grateful to God for moving among us to nurture love for worship, a commitment to generosity and stewardship, and a deep sense of trust in His provision.
About Lead Pastor Role
As we enter a new season as a church, we’re again placing our trust in the Lord to provide clarity and the right leadership for the next stage. We seek an optimistic, highly relational leader who desires community and values dialogue, who possesses administrative skills that empower others, and communication abilities that draw people together in unity. We also desire a dynamic teacher whose own vibrant spiritual life is the source of their ability to convey the Bible’s message in thoughtful and practical ways.
If this aligns with your giftings and sense of calling, then please take a look at the description with more details below.
