Looking for: English Speaking Pastor

Chinese Gospel Church (Scarborough)

2610 Birchmount Rd. Scarborough, ON Canada M1W 2P5

Chinese Gospel Church(CGC) is an evangelical church established in 1963 as part of the Associated Gospel Churches of Canada (AGC).

In our forty-seven years of ministry we have grown to nine congregations and have planted three mature independent churches in the Greater Toronto Area. Currently CGC has three sites—downtown, Mississauga and Scarborough. Our Scarborough site’s English-speaking congregation of 70 youth and adults is currently seeking a full-time English-speaking pastor.

This English congregation works closely with the Mandarin congregation which has about 200 adults --mostly families. Their children and youth make up half of the English congregation and the rest are mature second generation families. Although the English congregation plans its ministries independently, the Sunday school department works cooperatively with the Mandarin congregation. Our location is within a large Chinese community and is within walking distance of an elementary and a high school. This location provides tremendous opportunities for ministry to children, youth and families.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with the English pastors of our downtown and Mississauga sites and cooperatively with the Mandarin pastors of the Scarborough site.

Candidates should have at lease a Bachelors degree in Theology, 3-5 years ministry experience and strengths in:

1. Teaching & Preaching: preferably in expository style
2. Developing and Discipling members through Christian Education
3. Team Leadership: with the ability to influence others in a multi-staff and lay leadership team
4. Pastoral counseling

Resumes should be directed to:
