To Submit Information for the Pastor Search Committee:
Senior Pastor
Full-Time
Location: Middleburg Heights, Ohio
Park Heights Baptist Church is a Southern Baptist church located in Middleburg Heights, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland). PHBC is currently on a pursuit to acquire, through the provisions of the Holy Spirit, a God ordained, Holy Spirit filled individual to assume the position of senior pastor.
VISION STATEMENT:
We believe that disciples exalt Jesus, equip other disciples and engage others with the love and gospel of Jesus.
PHBC BELIEFS:
Our core beliefs can be found on our website:
http://www.parkheightsbaptist.com/beliefs.html
*As a Southern Baptist church, we adhere to The Baptist Faith and Message of 2000.
http://www.sbc.net/bfm2000/bfm2000.asp
JOB DESCRIPTION:
As a Bible-believing church, it is our desire at PHBC to partake in the will of God under the spiritual leadership and protection of whom God has entrusted us. We are currently pursuing a man of God who is committed to the expository preaching of God’s word. In regard to expository preaching, it is most desirable for us to acquire a senior pastor who rightly divides the word of God, and who’s conviction it is to lead and care for the flock of God in both teaching sound doctrine, and personal application.
It is our eager hope and expectation that our next senior pastor would meet and uphold the qualifications stated in 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:6-9, and 1 Peter 5:1-4.
1 Timothy 3:1-7:
The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. 2 Therefore an overseer[a] must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,[b] sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3 not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive,5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church? 6 He must not be a recent convert, or he may become puffed up with conceit and fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover, he must be well thought of by outsiders, so that he may not fall into disgrace, into a snare of the devil.

Titus 1:6-9:
6 if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife,[a] and his children are believers[b] and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. 7 For an overseer,[c] as God's steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. 9 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound[d] doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=TITUS+1%3A6-9&version=ESV)
1 Peter 5:1-4:
So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: 2 shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight,[a] not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you;[b] not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.

REQUIREMENTS:
We trust in the grace of God to provide to us the one in whom He has foreordained to be the shepherd of PHBC. We ask that interested candidates would prayerfully consider PHBC. If any interested candidates feel the Lord may be leading you to consider PHBC, please submit your cover letter, resume, and references. Links to sermons are encouraged.
