Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We are writing to inform you that Lakeside Baptist Church is currently seeking the man God has called to serve as our next pastor. We value the fellowship and partnership we share with like-minded churches in our area, and we ask for your prayers as we walk through this important season.

Lakeside Baptist Church is a body of believers committed to glorifying God and proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. As we seek a pastor, we are praying for a man who is:

•   Biblically grounded and doctrinally sound

•   Christ-centered in preaching, teaching, and leadership

•   A shepherd who loves people and leads with humility and integrity

•   Committed to the gospel, discipleship, and the mission of the local church

•   Aligned with Baptist convictions and practices

  If you know of someone who may be sensing God’s leading toward pastoral ministry or who may be a good fit for our church, we would be grateful for your recommendation. More than anything, we covet your prayers—for wisdom, unity, and clarity as we seek the Lord’s will together.

  Inquiries and resumes, including doctrinal statements, should be sent to the following email address: lakesidesearchcommittee@gmail.com

  Thank you for your faithfulness to Christ and for your partnership in the gospel. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or would like additional information.

  In Christ,

  Lakeside Baptist Church (website: lakesideslocum.com) Pastor Search Committee / Church Leadership
