George Community Church in Clackamas County, Oregon, is seeking a part-time missionary pastor to provide biblical leadership, pastoral care, and encouragement to its congregation while helping strengthen the church's presence in the surrounding community.
This nondenominational, Bible-believing church has a long history of serving the George community and desires a pastor who will lead with humility, spiritual maturity, and a genuine love for people.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys personal relationships, values biblical discipleship, and is passionate about helping a small church grow in faith, fellowship, and community impact.
About the Ministry
Founded in 1969 in an old schoolhouse, George Community Church has faithfully served its rural community for more than five decades. In 1981, the congregation moved into its current church building, creating a dedicated space for worship, fellowship, and outreach.
Located approximately 20 minutes from Estacada and Sandy, Oregon, the church serves a scenic rural area with approximately 300 homes along an eight-mile community loop.
The congregation reported approximately 25 members, along with additional regular attendees, in 2021. Its members span multiple generations, creating a family-like environment where relationships and personal connections are central to church life.
George Community Church offers Sunday worship services, communion, women's Bible studies, men's study breakfasts, Sunday School, and community activities such as harvest parties, picnics, and Vacation Bible School.
The church desires to continue building on this foundation by strengthening its congregation, welcoming new families, and sharing the love of Christ with its neighbors.

Responsibilities include:
- Preaching and teaching God's Word clearly, accurately, and in ways that encourage spiritual growth and practical application.
