The new Worship Pastor will get to join this incredibly talented team to help the church grow in its love for Jesus, worship, and ministry. For the right candidate, this opportunity offers the chance to do life and ministry in a healthy, well-resourced, and growing ministry fellowship longing to reach their community and the world.
Hibernia Baptist Church has a rich history of faithful gospel ministry in northeast Florida. What began as a small group of believers has grown into a thriving congregation with a strong commitment to biblical teaching, missions, and family discipleship. Over the years, God has used Hibernia to reach the community through consistent preaching of the Word, intentional outreach, and a deep investment in the next generation. Under the leadership of Senior Pastor Scott Yirka, the church has experienced steady growth and expanded its impact through church planting and multi-site ministry.
Today, Hibernia continues to be a place where people of all ages and backgrounds come to know and follow Jesus. With two campuses, a growing online presence, and a vibrant Sunday morning worship experience, the church is marked by a passion for Christ-centered worship and authentic community. Ministries for children, students, adults, and senior adults are thriving, and missions—both local and global—are a core part of our identity. Hibernia remains committed to biblical fidelity, relational discipleship, and Spirit-led ministry.
“I love living in the area because of the people that are here and the immense opportunity to reach people with the gospel in a near coastal region.”
