Lead Pastor

Church on the Hill in Montrose, Colorado is prayerfully in search of a new Lead Pastor. The retirement of our beloved Lead Pastor has caused us to look with anticipation at welcoming an authentic, Gospel-driven, and relationally gifted pastor to lead, inspire, and love us as we love him in the walk that God is calling us.

Church on the Hill is looking for a Lead Pastor who actively demonstrates his commitment to the truth of scripture and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. This leader needs to have integrity and commitment. He must be able to relate well with others and be a shepherd and encourager of God’s flock. He must be involved in our community, have a passion for God, and be willing to stand against injustice. He must also be able to communicate a Spirit-filled message through preaching and teaching with skill and enthusiasm.

We are seeking someone single or a family man, with a strong marriage, who is sure of his calling to the ministry. He must have a four-year degree in Biblical studies: Master of Divinity is preferred, but not required. A desire for further education is certainly encouraged. He must also have a minimum of five years of experience in pastoral leadership including oversight of paid staff and volunteers. If married, the Lead Pastor should have a wife who supports her husband’s ministry.

Job Description and Benefits

The total salary and benefit package will be $72,500 to $75,000 based on experience.  The Lead Pastor will have the opportunity to divide the package between salary, life insurance, health insurance and retirement.

About the Church

Then and Now

The church was planted in 1973 by like-minded Baptists from the then Rocky Mountain Conservative Baptist Association. In 1975, three acres (at the southwest corner of Highway 90 and Spring Creek Road) were donated for this church. We are celebrating our 50^th anniversary this year. We have had only four pastors in those 50 years. The church is an attractive and well-maintained building with a sanctuary capable of seating over 200 people, a basement with elevator, five classrooms, a full kitchen, and a fellowship area that seats approximately 80 people. We also have a smaller building for additional needs. The church is currently averaging 100 people each Sunday.

The Church

Our church is a part of the Rocky Mountain Church Venture Network. We believe in the infallible, inerrant Word of God, contained in the Bible, and this is central to our teaching and preaching. We are a solid core of committed people who have faithfully led and supported our church for years. We are a biblically literate church committed to the authority and centrality of God’s word. We are a generous church and give joyfully of our tithes and offerings, and we support missionaries both here and abroad. We strive to make disciples and to endeavor to help believers grow in the grace and knowledge of the Savior. We worship and serve a triune God, and that is central to the life of our church family. Prayer is practiced in all aspects of our ministry, and we believe it is a gift from God.
