Pekin, Illinois
First Baptist Church is located in central Illinois, approx. 15 miles south of Peoria. Our COVID average Sunday morning attendance is 220 with 2 services (9 am traditional and 10:30 am contemporary). Before COVID we averaged approx. 270. Our purpose statement is: Producing fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ who love God and people. We have a very generous church family made up of an older demographic, however, we are seeing more and more younger families attending and a pastor that has a heart for evangelism and discipleship.
The youth position is currently part-time (20 hrs a week) with a salary of approx. $20,000 annually. Free housing and utilities are a possibility but more hours would be required. We have a great facility that includes a gym and racketball court and a newly renovated youth space. We are located in a large older neighborhood with 2 elementary schools nearby. If you have a heart for reaching and disciplining youth with the possibility of growing this ministry position to a full-time, reach out.
