Preaching Minister

Owensville First Christian Church is an independent Christian Church within the Restoration Movement. Who we are and our core beliefs may be found online at fccowensville.com.

The vision of Owensville First Christian Church is to be a multiplying family of love-motivated, baptized followers of Jesus learning to daily practice eternal living in His kingdom for Gods glory.

Prepare and preach Sunday morning sermons. Teach adult Bible classes that promote spiritual transformation and discipleship. As part of discipleship and developing confident carriers of the gospel, model for fellow church leaders and congregants ways to share ones faith with the lost and marginal Christians. Serve as a shepherd among shepherds to mentor and facilitate servant-leadership development. Be committed to practicing and emphasizing the importance of individual, small group, and corporate prayer. Be willing to co-lead youth group, as needed. Eagerly practice/model hospitality in the home, church building, and office. As needed, provide individual congregants with biblical guidance and, if qualified, counseling. Assist the elders in providing pastoral care through home, hospital, and nursing home visits. Officiate weddings (only between a man and a woman according to their gender at birth) and funerals. Assist in developing strategic planning and goal-setting initiatives. Regularly practice spiritual disciplines to be in a place for the Holy Spirit to enable spiritual formation and ministry from overflow. Practice self-care (adequate rest, exercise, healthy eating, time with family and friends, receive spiritual direction and, if needed, counseling.)
