Boulevard Presbyterian Church
Pastoral Residency
About Boulevard
“Behold, I am making all things new.” God speaks these words of promise in Revelation 21; it’s a glimpse at where God is taking the story of our world. The church’s mission is to proclaim the Gospel (“good news”) of this cosmic renewal through Christ and to make it evident by following Jesus to make disciples and to love God and neighbor. At Boulevard we strive to play our part in that vision in the Greater West Side of Chicago. We seek to be a place of rest, honesty, healing, service, and joyful celebration in Christ. We gather in Oak Park for worship every Sunday, and we also have a storefront office in the Austin neighborhood of Chicago. Our congregation comprises people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures from Oak Park, Austin, Cicero, Galewood, Berwyn, Forest Park, River Forest and beyond.
In history, the word ‘boulevard’ was first used to refer to the fortifying walls that surrounded medieval cities. However, as those walls came down, the same word came to reference what we think of as boulevards today: tree-lined ways which offer beauty, rest, and connection in the urban landscape. The boulevard is an illustration of what Christ is doing in our world through the church: bringing peace where there is division, forgiveness and transformation where there is wrong, life where there is death. Also, in our context, Austin Boulevard is where city meets village, a line intersecting diverse histories, races, resources and cultures. Our church is committed to loving and serving the peoples around the Boulevard, knowing that Christ is “our peace, who has made us one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility” (Ephesians 2.14).
Our expressed values include Gospel, Celebration, Learning, Neighborhood, Hospitality, Gospel Reconciliation, and Partnership. You can read more about it on our website (blvdpres.org).
We are a member of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). We began in September 2017 as a church plant of two congregations on the Northside of Chicago, Covenant Pres and Lincoln Square Pres.
About the Pastoral Residency at Boulevard
Boulevard is committed to investing in people preparing for vocational ministry. The Pastoral Residency Program at Boulevard Presbyterian Church is designed to expose residents to pastoral work and life and the dynamics of church planting, in a supportive context in which we walk alongside residents in discipleship and in exploring their call to pastoral ministry. The residency is a one-year mutual commitment. Renewal of that for additional time can be considered at the end of the year. The number of hours expected of each resident will be determined on a case-by-case basis, but usually ranges from 5 to 15 hours per week. A stipend is provided for each resident. We have capacity for up to three residents at any time.
The residency consists of three elements:
A regular meeting with other residents and the pastor to discuss assigned readings and relevant issues of church, ministry, and faith.
At least one area of ministry which the resident oversees. This will be determined with time based on the resident’s gifting and the congregation’s current need.
Experience across the wide variety of ministries and responsibilities required of pastors and church planters. This includes: leading liturgy on Sunday, occasional preaching and teaching, connecting with congregants and community members relationally, outreach, church admin, finances, and leadership development.
How To Apply
We are always eager to connect with people who are exploring a call to ministry at whatever stage they are at: just starting to explore the idea, already in seminary, or have graduated from seminary and looking for a pastoral call. In particular, we are committed to investing in people pursuing ordination in our denomination (the PCA) and investing in people of color; however, neither of these is a requirement for applying.
If you are interested in applying for or learning more about the Pastoral Residency at Boulevard, please contact Pastor Jeff Schneider (jeff@blvdpres.org). The application consists of three parts: a cover letter explaining why you are interested in the position, a description of your journey in the Christian faith, and a resume of educational, ministry, work, and other relevant experiences.

Forest Park Baptist Church
Forest Park, Illinois, USA
Forest Park Baptist Church (FPBC) exists to glorify God, encouraging everyone to know and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. As a church we are committed to the authority of God’s Word, to being an ethnically diverse congregation and to prayer. We believe the Bible provides the necessary foundation for Christian faith and conduct, in the importance of worshipping with people from various ethnicities, and in making prayer a priority. We have a blended worship style, recognizing the rich heritage of traditional hymns while also singing a “new song” to the Lord through contemporary worship choruses. With a focus on building one another up in the faith, we are committed to people, not programs.
Forest Park Baptist Church is affiliated with the North American Baptist Conference (NAB).
Our Beliefs
The Bible is God’s Word given by divine inspiration, the record of God’s revelation of Himself to humanity.
There is one living and true God, perfect in wisdom, sovereignty, holiness, justice, mercy and love.
God created an order of spiritual beings called angels to serve Him and do His will.
God created man in His own image to have fellowship with Himself and to be steward over His creation.
Salvation is redemption by Christ of the whole person from sin and death.
The Church is the body of which Christ is the head and all who believe in Him are members.
Religious liberty, rooted in Scripture, is the inalienable right of all individuals to freedom of conscience with ultimate accountability to God.
Christians, individually and collectively, are salt and light in society.
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring all things to their appropriate end and establish the new heaven and the new earth.
Key Responsibilities
A member of the Elder team, the Pastor provides spiritual leadership to the congregation. The key responsibilities as described below will be carried out in conjunction with the Elders, Ministry Staff and Ministry Leaders to further the mission and vision of FPBC. These key responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Preaching, Prayer & Worship
Church Leadership
Pastoral Care
Evangelism & Church Growth
Inter-Church and Community Involvement
Preaching, Prayer & Worship

Full time
Forest Park Baptist Church (FPBC) exists to glorify God, encouraging everyone to know and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. As a church we are committed to the authority of God’s Word, to being an ethnically diverse congregation and to prayer. We believe the Bible provides the necessary foundation for Christian faith and conduct, in the importance of worshipping with people from various ethnicities, and in making prayer a priority. We have a blended worship style, recognizing the rich heritage of traditional hymns while also singing a “new song” to the Lord through contemporary worship choruses. With a focus on building one another up in the faith, we are committed to people, not programs.
Forest Park Baptist Church is affiliated with the North American Baptist Conference (NAB).
Our Beliefs
The Bible is God’s Word given by divine inspiration, the record of God’s revelation of Himself to humanity.
There is one living and true God, perfect in wisdom, sovereignty, holiness, justice, mercy and love.
God created an order of spiritual beings called angels to serve Him and do His will.
God created man in His own image to have fellowship with Himself and to be steward over His creation.
Salvation is redemption by Christ of the whole person from sin and death.
The Church is the body of which Christ is the head and all who believe in Him are members.
Religious liberty, rooted in Scripture, is the inalienable right of all individuals to freedom of conscience with ultimate accountability to God.
Christians, individually and collectively, are salt and light in society.
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring all things to their appropriate end and establish the new heaven and the new earth.
Key Responsibilities
A member of the Elder team, the Pastor provides spiritual leadership to the congregation.
