Lead Pastor
New Beginnings Methodist Church (West Memphis, AR) – Lead Pastor
The Big Picture
New Beginnings Methodist Church (https://newbeginningsmethodistchurch.com) is seeking a passionate, energetic, and Godly pastor to lead our congregation of 250+ members in faith, worship, growth, and community. We believe a strong pastoral presence is essential for fostering spiritual growth, emotional support, and meaningful connections.
The Church
At less than two years old, New Beginnings Methodist Church has experienced a season of rapid growth and expansion. Our church is grounded in the inerrancy of the Bible and the truth of salvation through Jesus Christ. We embrace the rich traditions of the Methodist faith while creating an atmosphere where people from all walks of life can experience God’s love in a personal and transformative way. We believe in the power of grace, the importance
of strong relationships, and the calling to support one another through all seasons of life.
Each week, we welcome an average of 253 worshippers, evenly distributed among three primary age groups: seniors (65+), middle- aged adults (40-65), and young adults (20-40). This balance allows for a rich, intergenerational church experience where wisdom meets enthusiasm. NBMC is blessed with a flourishing and active Youth and Children’s ministry.
NBMC is blessed with strong financial stewardship. The congregation of New Beginnings Method Church demonstrates strong financial support for the church and its ministries through generous giving. Contributions from tithes, kitchen donations, and special gifts ensure the church remains financially healthy and well-positioned for future growth.
As we look ahead, NBMC is committed to deepening its ministry impact, supporting discipleship efforts, and strengthening outreach in our community. We are excited about what God has in store for our church and trust in their guidance as we seek continued growth and leadership for the future.
The Candidate
We seek a pastor who will lead our congregation with biblical conviction, spiritual wisdom, and a heart for both worship and community. Our next pastor will be a faithful preacher of God’s Word, delivering dynamic, Bible-based sermons that inspire and challenge us. They will lead worship services with enthusiasm, ensuring that each gathering is rich with the presence of the Holy Spirit. Working closely with church leadership, they will help cultivate worship that is both meaningful and God-honoring.
More than a preacher, they will be a shepherd—one who walks alongside our church family with compassion and care. They will comfort the grieving, counsel the hurting, and celebrate with the joyful. They will visit the sick, pray with the burdened, and be a steady presence in times of trial. Our pastor will not only minister to our congregation but will also invest in our community, building relationships that foster connection and spiritual growth. They will lead with wisdom, working alongside staff and volunteers to fulfill the church’s mission while ensuring that ministries engage believers of all ages.
We are seeking a Pastor deeply rooted in their faith, with a strong personal relationship with Jesus Christ. They will be a compelling communicator, a relational leader, and a person of integrity. Above all, we trust that God is preparing the right leader for this season of our church’s journey—a pastor who will guide us with faithfulness, vision, and love.
