Lead Pastor

God has blessed First Christian Church (FCC), a Restoration Movement church, in Evansville, Indiana for 158 years. Our vision is to "Make Friends. Find Family." Our mission is to "Love God. Love People. Serve Both." For the past 48 years here at FCC, our Lead Pastor, Jerry Clark, has been a faithful servant of God, first as our Youth Minister for fourteen years and then as our Lead Pastor for the last thirty-three years. Jerry’s faithful preaching, steady leadership, and wise oversight has been invaluable to FCC’s ministries, both within our Evansville community and the missions we support beyond. FCC is now in a season of carrying out a succession plan for our next lead pastor. Succession is a natural and healthy part of every organization. Each of us as members of FCC play an important role in God’s story here in Evansville, and Lord willing, a story that will continue long after we are gone.

We are looking for a man who is Biblically qualified for Church leadership; and has the character, calling, desired educational background, experience, and skills to help lead FCC. We are looking for someone who loves our basic vision, mission, values, and aligns with our statements of faith. We are looking for someone who will add to our leadership team in such a way as to amplify and multiply FCC’s ministries. We are looking for someone to build on the foundation that has been laid here at FCC. We are looking for someone willing to move to Evansville, make it home, and truly invest in our community. We are looking for a dynamic communicator that will help us know and love the Word of God while challenging not-yet and new believers to take steps of faith and helping all of us grow closer to Jesus in practical ways.
