Families Pastor
NOW HIRING: Families Pastor First Baptist Church Kaufman | Kaufman, Texas | Full Time
About FBC Kaufman
FBC Kaufman exists to reach Kaufman County and the world for Christ, one changed life at a time. We are a warm, growing, multi-generational Baptist church that believes the local church is the hope of the world. We laugh hard, serve sacrificially, and do whatever it takes to reach people no one else is reaching. We invest deeply in families and the next generation, because building strong homes and godly kids is the best way to build a hopeful future.
We are a church with a deep commitment to the authority of Scripture, the centrality of the gospel, and the conviction that excellence in ministry honors God. We welcome people from every background and every stage of life, and we believe in second chances, new beginnings, and lost causes.
The Opportunity
