Our Pastoral Search is ON!
Interested? Contact: BWCC2025@gmail.com
We are thrilled to welcome Pastor Ryan Lucas as our Interim Pastor as we continue our search for a full-time Pastor. Pastor Ryan is a dynamic leader with a thoughtful heart; we hope you will join us any Sunday to meet him in person.
Our church is a vibrant non-denominational congregation that is seeking a full-time dynamic
pastor who embodies warmth, charisma, and a passion for community. We are looking for
someone who can connect with people, inspire growth, and lead our church. We're a close-knit
congregation with a rich history dating back to 1915.
Our ideal candidate will embody Christ's love, foster inclusivity, and guide us in spiritual growth
and community service. We are also looking for someone who can connect with people to grow
the congregation in an intentional and meaningful way. If you are driven to make a difference
and eager to engage with our congregation and the broader community, we want to hear from
you! Come help us continue our mission of spreading God’s love through worship, education, and
outreach in our serene woodland sanctuary.
