Lead Pastor

The Silverdale Brethren in Christ Church, located in the small, but growing borough of Silverdale in Bucks County, Pa., is seeking her next senior pastor. Established in the community since 1863, this loving and dedicated congregation desires to pursue her next chapter of ministry by continuing to impact lives for Jesus and more actively participating in the mission of God around her.

The well-qualified applicant is to be Jesus-centered in all ways, as evidenced by his or her teaching and preaching. The small congregation of primarily seasoned adults is looking for an enthusiastic people person who possesses administrative skills, as well as the abilities to network and make spiritual connections within the community. Characteristics of a heart that follows Jesus—such as humility, caring for others, and a servant attitude—are essential. As the leadership of the church looks to its next season, it envisions changes that will help the people of the church connect with and become a more integral part of their community, as well as reach out to new individuals who will join in that mission.

Candidates must be or be willing to be licensed in the Brethren in Christ Church. If interested in applying for this position, please send a resume and cover letter to Bishop Bryan Hoke of the Atlantic Conference of the Brethren in Christ Church at bicatlantic@bicus.org. Resumes will be received through August 23, 2023.
