Located in the heart of Victoria, Central Baptist Church has a strong vision to bring the renewing power of the gospel into people’s lives.  We are looking for an organized, spiritually mature Lead Pastor to oversee our church’s operations, to lead and direct our staff, and to serve our people through pastoral ministry.

We are a community of 300-400 people who are relatively diverse in age, ethnic background, and interests, though we are an aging congregation. The gospel is the centre of all we are and all we do. Our vision is to be a church that is “renewing our community through the gospel.”  By “our community” we mean ourselves, our neighbourhood, our city, and those places in the world where we can have influence.  By God’s grace, this vision is being achieved through numerous local and global initiatives. 

Central is at a unique moment in its history. Though we have a strong 99-year history, we have an aging group of buildings, and we are situated in a neighbourhood that has many challenges involving addiction, mental-health issues and homelessness. Our church is located at the epicentre of these challenges, which also presents tremendous opportunities to spread the Good News about our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
