Mt. Home Community Church in Johnson County, Arkansas, is prayerfully seeking a pastor-shepherd-teacher-leader called by God. Mt. Home is a multi-generational congregation worshiping together as an interdenominational family.
Mt. Home is not affiliated with any denominational association and is locally governed by the pastor, boards of deacons and directors, and the congregation. Currently, attendance for Sunday services is 30-40, and on Wednesday, 40-45.
Congregation members are actively involved in missions and community outreach. There is a growing youth group, adult Bible study, and Sunday school ministries. Mt. Home is financially stable, operates debt-free, and is blessed with excellent facilities.
The position is currently open to bi-vocational applicants, with a goal of full-time compensation with additional growth.
