Dunwoody Baptist Church (DBC) is a place where people are passionately becoming more like Jesus and are committed to experiencing transformation throughout their home, community, church, and world. The church has an active membership of nearly 1,400 people and an annual general fund budget of $3.8 million. The church is in a healthy season of growth and leadership abundance as it seeks to call a new Senior Pastor following the recent retirement of beloved Senior Pastor Allen Jackson.
DBC has a strong history of supporting missions and sending its members locally, nationally, and internationally. This is demonstrated through 17% of its budget being designated for missions and supporting 47 local and global ministries. DBC is committed to being a multigenerational, multicultural, and multinational church. It is also an everyday community hub of great relevance with various community-oriented programs hosted on campus.
Ultimately, Dunwoody Baptist Church focuses on loving God, loving people, making disciples, and making a difference.
The Senior Pastor is the spiritual leader for Dunwoody Baptist Church, the primary leader for the church and Ministerial Staff, and the primary teacher of God’s Word at Dunwoody Baptist Church.
The Senior Pastor’s role in the administrative functions of DBC should not become so primary as to interfere with his proper study time and teaching. His primary role is to lead the church’s growth and spiritual well-being through vision, leadership development, presentations, and life examples.
Key Responsibilities:
To preach, teach, and live the Word of God, ensuring the planning and presentation of meaningful worship experiences
To provide vision and direction to the Church, and to help formulate and foster the implementation and growth of the Church’s strategies and goals
To live the life of a model disciple, engaging in a vibrant prayer life
To evaluate the evolving needs of the congregation and work to strengthen the present ministries in keeping with those needs
To lead and develop the church staff around the mission and vision at DBC
