Senior Lead Pastor

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionSenior Lead Pastor - Mayfair Bible ChurchMayfair Bible Church (MBC) is looking for a lead pastor to join its team of elders in shepherding God’s flock. The elder board—which consists of five or more lay elders, two associate pastors, and the lead pastor—works with the deacon board to guide, serve, and love the church family.

History of Mayfair Bible Church

Located in Flushing, Michigan, (a small town near Flint), Mayfair Bible Church grew from a neighborhood ministry in 1929 to an incorporated church in 1945 and has remained a witness to God’s faithful grace and truth. Throughout its history, Mayfair has remained committed to biblical teaching and preaching, excellence in Christian music, relevant youth ministry, and spiritual growth for its members—under the stable leadership of only four lead pastors. The Mission Statement calls people to “Belong to Jesus, Thrive in Jesus, and Go with Jesus.” The lead pastor is joined by a youth and family pastor, an associate pastor, and a director of music. The official board of elders and deacons oversees the ministries.

Lying on a twenty-acre parcel, MBC houses an 800-seat worship center that is flanked by administration and educational wings. The facility also includes classrooms, a multi-purpose gymnasium, kitchen, outdoor pavilion, and ball diamond. Adjacent to its campus, MBC operates its own Thrive Center, a flexible, multipurpose space for community connection.
