The Lead Teaching Pastor, along with the other church elders in an equal and functionally diverse shared leadership structure, is to provide spiritual and pastoral leadership to the congregation of Grace Bible Church as we aim to glorify God by making more and better disciples of Him. His distinctive priority is to preach in an expository manner deriving the authority of what he preaches from God’s Word. This preaching expounds, illustrates, and applies Scripture for the sake of lives transformed in the likeness of Christ, staying true to the meaning of the text.
The Lead Teaching Pastor is to have the heart of a shepherd (1 Peter 5:1-4), committed to protecting the flock with a fearful sense of God’s love for the church, His bride. Further, he is to be a man of God who has a deep love and zeal for the Scriptures, demonstrates a rich prayer life, has a fast reliance on the Holy Spirit, and bears the attributes of a disciplined, joyful follower of Christ.
