About The Position

Sherman Church is seeking a full-time Pastor. The ideal candidate has a deep, growing relationship with God and exhibits it in a personal life of devotion and preaching with a strong biblical focus.

The pastor will help implement the church's vision, motivating and equipping leaders to come alongside to see God at work through a congregational approach to ministry.
