Family Pastor

Monclova Road Baptist Church is seeking a leader dedicated to guiding the next generation toward ongoing spiritual maturity. We are looking for a Family Pastor focused on developing ministry teams, equipping parents for at-home discipleship, and building a comprehensive spiritual pathway for families.

The Opportunity

Monclova Road Baptist Church is hiring a Family Pastor to provide strategic and relational leadership to our ministries serving newborns through young adults. This role requires an individual capable of engaging every age group, recruiting and developing strong volunteer teams, and seamlessly integrating the next generation into the broader life and service of the church body.

Who We Are

Monclova Road Baptist Church has been making disciples in the Toledo area for over fifty years. Under new leadership, we are laying a foundation for the next stage of our church's life by reaching the community and building up disciples within our multi-generational church family. Rooted in established Baptist theology and a commitment to biblical truth, we also serve as the home to Monclova Christian Academy, a chartered Christian school for K5 through 12th-grade students and their families.

The Position

The Family Pastor provides oversight and pastoral care to our family ministry teams. During a typical week, this leader will invest the majority of their time directly into student ministries (Monclova Students, 7th-12th grades) and parents, while giving vision and direction to the children’s ministry and nursery directors. The core focus of this position is to establish multi-generational influence, equip families to disciple in their own homes, and create consistent opportunities for the next generation to serve the church through worship, community outreach, and practical service projects.
