Senior Pastor: First Baptist Church, Boston

HISTORY - FBC Boston was founded in 1665 by seven men and two women in a
time of great religious persecution. The basic principles were
Believers' Baptism (rather than infant baptism) and separation of
Church and State. This church has survived many obstacles and prays for
a promising future.

CONGREGATION - The church has approximately 100 members and friends and
is racially, theologically and politically diverse. The group is
somewhat eccentric in their ways. It is a group that understands the
differences in God's children and attempts to integrate all those
wishing to be a part of our historic fellowship.

THEOLOGY and PURPOSE - This church believes in the Trinity, and
proclaims and demonstrates the Gospels of Jesus Christ, attempts to
carry out the teachings of the New Testament, encourages the spiritual
growth and mutual support of its members, and provides a community of
friendship for all people. The church has a church covenant, which we
read together every month at communion. The church maintains a moderate
theological approach to the Scriptures and supports a free pulpit and
Soul Liberty. The scriptures are considered guidelines for daily living
as inspired by God.

GOVERNANCE - The church operates according to by-laws with officers,
boards and committees having specific responsibilities and elects
members annually who take their positions seriously. Church meetings are
congregational in style.

AFFILIATIONS - The church is a member of the American Baptist Churches,
USA, (ABC-USA) The American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts (TABCOM),
and the Stillman Association.

MUSIC - The church supports a myriad of sacred music with choir and
organ.

OUR BUILDING - The congregation supports the integrity, history and
maintenance of our sacred edifice and property, and continues to work on
the historic preservation of the HH Richardson designed building, Hook
and Hastings organ, and its historical contents and archives.

WHO WE SEEK - The Pastoral Search Committee wishes to hire a Senior
Pastor with at least 10 years of experience, who must have a minimum of
a Masters of Divinity from an accredited ABC affiliated seminary. The
prospective candidate must have good preaching and social skills and
must be able to integrate new members with current members, and must be
able to support who we are as a congregation as outlined in the above
paragraphs. Employment conditions are negotiable and may include
part-time or full-time service, and likely will involve a long-term
contract. Please forward resume to the attention of Donald G. Thacker,
Chairman of the Pastoral Search Committee, at Bartholdi350@aol.com.
