Campus Pastor

Overview

Saint Mo’s is an 8 year old multi-ethnic church plant in the heart of Baltimore City. We stand in

the deep center-current of historic Christianity. Our current building is located in a neighborhood

where people from multiple backgrounds converge. We enjoy a strong reputation among

churches in Baltimore for collaboration, for generosity and for deep community, for vibrant

worship and rigorous preaching.

We are looking for a full-time Campus Pastor (man or woman) to help launch and lead a new

campus (see below). This person will be an ardent follower of Jesus with deep cultural

intelligence, has a heart for people (serving and leading them) and the ability to envision and

build new, healthy organizations in a team setting. This is a full time position with a competitive

salary and benefits package.

The new campus (St Moses Church, Hamilton) is being established in a cluster of

neighborhoods (Hamilton and Lauraville) in northeast Baltimore city, MD. These neighborhoods

are a meeting point for people from a range of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. The

area adjoins Morgan State University, one of the leading HBCUs in the nation and sits along one

of the few major north-south arteries connecting the city and the county to the north.

We hope that the best bits of Saint Mo’s culture, as it currently exists, are transplanted into the

new church. We want the new church to be welcoming and vibrant. We want it to reflect the

diversity of the community. The music will be contemporary but connected to the great tradition

of Christian worship. The theology will continue to stand in the deep center current of historic

Christianity and will be evangelical in the historical sense of emphasizing the authority of the Bible,

the centrality of the Cross of Christ, the importance of turning toward God for salvation

and lives lived deliberately in the Way of Jesus. The proximity to a major university means that

we will aim consistently to preach in a manner that is compelling for students and faculty. The

proximity to physical needs means that we will aim consistently to serve the community with the

resources we have available.

This job comes with competitive salary and benefits.
