NewHope Baptist Church is a thriving community in Blackburn North Victoria with over 700 members and 1,200 active supporters, worshipping in three different language based congregations.
Our heart at NewHope is to have a Christ centred culture. We long to be present and connected as we serve God’s kingdom purposes, engage in passionate worship and unite in prayer. We believe strongly in equipping believers for service and growing disciples so that together, we reflect Christ to the world. Our desire is to see the Spirit moving in power and God’s love spilling over into our streets and filling every home.
Our Senior Pastor will have a generational perspective and a heart for empowering our community with spiritual mentorship. At NewHope we are committed to growth and stability in our wide range of ministries, including those for children, youth and young adults, which have been an important part of the life of our church over many years. Our Senior Pastor will also be able to build community as culture shifts and stand boldly for Jesus, speaking His truth in love.
We are seeking a Jesus-centered, people-oriented senior leader to guide us, minister alongside us, and join us on our journey of spiritual growth and discipleship.
