Mortons Corners Baptist Church is a Christ-centered, Bible-believing church.  Our goal is proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ, discipling new believers, baptizing and serving the Body of Christ.  The church is lead by a senior pastor and currently has two deacons, one deaconess, four trustees, church clerk, treasurer, financial secretary and a Sunday school superintendent.  The only paid position is the lead pastor.

The demographic makeup of our members and attendees is varied due to its rural location.  There are blue collar workers, farmers, self-employed, business owners and various other occupations represented.  The congregation as a whole is a very loving, caring and giving group of Jesus followers who are eager to encourage, assist, “jump in” and help where needed.

The 200 year old church building is nestled in a rural setting in the southeastern corner of Erie County, New York, in the middle of a rich farming area in the township of Concord, only 5 miles west of the village of Springville (10,000 residents).

Responsibilities of the Pastor including preaching a Sunday morning sermon and Wednesday night study and prayer as well as evangelistic outreach and counseling.

Warsaw Faith Bible Church…
We are a small group of 5 families and may not be able to financially support a full time Pastor.  The following are some of the distinctive that have brought us as a group of believers to follow God’s leading and take a step of faith through the church-planting endeavor of Faith Bible Church.

What we believe…
We believe ourselves to be a group of fundamental Christians who are doctrinally sound, and by today’s standards, would be considered to be fairly conservative.  We believe that there are only a few trusted English translations available …including the KJV, NKJV, NASB, and the ESV versions.

Each of us has come together to worship God and to corporately serve Christ in ways that we cannot seem to find in surrounding churches today. We believe that true teaching from the Word of God and not programs, is all that is needed to encourage fellow believers and reach the lost, whether those be young people or maturing adults.

We believe all of our music should be Christ- honoring. We like to sing Hymns from songbooks rather than choruses off of a big screen (not that a screen is wrong; so long as the music is displayed as well as the lyrics). We do not desire the use of “praise & worship” bands.

Our desire is to serve Christ by learning about Him, teaching about Him, praising Him, glorifying Him, and truly sharing His love in our community to point the lost to Him.

Culver Bible Church, located approximately one hour west of Winona Lake, In., is seeking a youth director for their teens.  This church is located in the beautiful lakeside community of Culver, home of Lake Maxinkuckee and Culver Military Academy.

Culver Bible Church is an independent church of about 25 people.  Their pastor, Daniel Huhn (Grace  College and Seminary graduate) has been ministering there since 1977.  Currently they have 5 teens, with the hope of growing.  The teens are a great group of kids, two of the girls having been Child Evangelism Fellowship summer missionaries for 2-3 years, and a third girl considering it for this summer.

Job description includes meeting with the teens about once a week, could be during the morning Sunday School, or maybe Sunday evening.  This would be ideal for a married couple, but a single guy would be great, too.  Meals, gas reimbursement would be provided, along with housing if needed for the night.

Salary will be meager (the pastor himself has to work outside the church) but the challenges and opportunities are abundant.   For example, in this little town of 1000 population and eight churches, we are the only church who consistently preaches the gospel.   There is no competition.  Even though this community is hard, the church is warm with a family atmosphere.

If you are interested and/or have any questions please contact Rev. Huhn (dan.huhn@sbcglobal.net) today!
