We are praying for a pastor who is called to:
* Lead our church into the next generation as a solid, vibrant PCA church seeking to do God's will
* Help our church humbly and authentically live out the Great Commission in a way that is relevant for our community and our city at large
This pastor's gifts will match these currently identified opportunities for growth:
* Develop and Train Leaders:
* Develop Elder Leadership (of our 14 active elders, 9 are age 65+)
* Identify additional Deacons and Sunday School teachers/Small Group leaders
* Enable the younger women in our church to mature into appropriate areas of biblical leadership and service
* Cultivate Hearts for Outreach:
* East Brainerd community impact
* Chattanooga at large
* Encourage our body to become more outwardly focused
* Build and Grow Staff for Strategic Objectives:
* We need to consider hiring a Congregational Care Pastor, a Youth Pastor, and a Music Director - all full-time positions
* As we craft a strategic direction for CPC, the new Senior Pastor will have significant influence in this process, along with the Session
* The Senior Pastor will provide guidance and leadership in any capital projects going forward
* Assist the Overall Church Leadership to Achieve These Goals:
* Attract and retain young people and young families
* Build a strategic plan that harnesses the gifts and demographics of our church body to dynamically equip us for worship, discipleship, outreach/missions, and generosity/giving
* Continue to grow, encourage, and enhance our shepherding efforts (a core component of CPC since its inception)
