He will be a member in good standing of Harmony Bible Church. If not a member when called by the church, he will complete the process within three months of the date when employment begins. The CAMPUS PASTOR needs to meet the spiritual and character qualifications of elder as found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:6-9 and exhibit the fruit of the Spirit as found in Galatians 5:22. He should be wise, discerning, decisive, sensitive, tender and firm. He should be a man of prayer and a man of the Word, sensitive to what the Spirit is saying to Harmony.

1. Leadership – the Pastor should be able to lead in a variety of contexts (individual, small groups, large groups) in such a way that Jesus Christ and His Gospel are central. He should be a self-starter and an initiative taker. 2. Relational—the Pastor should have a heart to care for people, not just manage systems; that drive should manifest itself in the appropriation of time. 3.

Teacher/Equipper—the Pastor should be able to effectively “equip the saints for the work of the ministry.” 5. Communicator—the Pastor should be able to clearly and concisely communicate the needs and aims of the church to all church leadership and from church leadership to the church body. 6.
