Friendship Baptist Church (FBC) is situated about 40 miles southwest of Chicago in the suburb of Plainfield, Illinois. Due to our pastor retiring, we are seeking a full-time senior pastor to provide spiritual leadership, oversee an administrative staff, guide the church’s mission and outreach programs, and conduct weekly worship services for a current average of 75 attendees (115 pre-COVID). We are looking for a pastor that shares our desire for church growth through community outreach and involvement.
