Manchester Baptist Church is a friendly, giving, welcoming, mission-minded church. We are looking to find a full time or bi-vocational pastor who is a strong Bible teacher with a vision to grow our church to the next level. The church has a newly remodeled auditorium, large fellowship hall, ample Sunday school rooms, a brick parsonage next to the church, and also a forty (40) acre farm, all without any debt.
The congregation has a blend of families w/children, empty nesters, and senior adults. We are low in the high school/college age group. The community of Manchester is small (325) but reaches communities within a 15 mile radius numbering 8-9 communities.
The church is known for its strong stand for Biblical principles; strong teaching in both Sunday school and worship, and it has vision to find new ways to minister to those who attend and those who should be reached for Christ. The church is on track with modern technology, using projection, music including hymns and praise & worship, quality sound, and other technologies that can enhance ministry.
Please send all inquiries to: Randy Cooper, Search Committee PO Box 141 Manchester, IL 62663 OR wcacoop@westfairministries.org
