I love Dallas Bible Church and their passion for loving all and helping all follow Jesus. This is a great opportunity to serve and lead a growing church that is biblically sound and has a heart for their surrounding community and the world. One of the most appealing aspects of Dallas Bible Church is their welcoming atmosphere and their multi-generational approach to ministry. As they seek their next Lead Pastor, they are in a season of growth and health which makes this one of the most exciting opportunities in the nation!
Dallas Bible Church was started 35 years ago by a handful of families looking to establish a new non-denominational bible church that was, in its early days, focused on the traditional family unit. This group of believers created an environment characterized by heartfelt worship, teaching of the Word, and a strong emphasis on prayer. In 1999, the church moved to its current location at the intersection of Hillcrest and Arapaho roads in North Dallas. The community surrounding DBC’s location is both multicultural and economically diverse, and these influences have changed the culture and ministries of the church in a very impactful way over time. Particularly during the past ten years, DBC has displayed a growing eagerness to reach the community around them by meeting needs with more of an outreach mindset. The church body can best be described as a thriving community of young families, blended with established families that have lived in the area for years. Although the faces have slowly changed to be more diverse culturally, generationally, and economically, the heart of Dallas Bible has not changed and still offers the same warm welcome to those looking for authenticity and a church home in which one can both connect and serve. In recent years, DBC has adopted the motto “Loving All and Helping All Follow Jesus,” and these ideas are lived out well in a church that has a strong reputation for both proclaiming the Gospel and caring for those who come through its doors.
The Lead Pastor will shepherd the people of God at Dallas Bible Church through preaching, teaching, and discipleship. DBC is an Elder-led church, and the Lead Pastor serves as a member of the Board of Elders. His role is born out of the spiritual authority of the Elders in recognition of his calling and God’s work in his life. The Lead Pastor will deliver regular sermons and oversee general vision and direction of worship experiences and initiatives. The Lead Pastor works collaboratively with his fellow Elders, the church’s Executive Pastor, and the other members of the ministry staff to fulfill DBC’s vision to Love All and Help All Follow Jesus. The Lead Pastor further provides oversight of the Worship, Grow, Serve, and Go rhythms of Dallas Bible Church, ensuring a transformative ministry occurs both within the congregation and in the larger community.
