Full-Time Permanent Ministry Opportunity!

Edmonton Chinese Baptist Church (ECBC) is currently seeking a permanent, full-time Pastor to serve its growing English congregation.

OUR CHURCH

ECBC, a member of the Canadian National Baptist Convention (CNBC), is located on the northern edge of downtown Edmonton. ECBC was incorporated in 1977 as a Cantonese church plant. In the mid-1990s an English ministry was begun, and we called our first full-time English pastor in 2001. A Mandarin ministry was begun in 2001, and in 2006 ECBC called a full-time Mandarin pastor to shepherd our growing Mandarin congregation. We now have four weekly worship services - English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Children.

The English congregation has an average attendance of 40-50 individuals - composed of junior & senior high youth, post-secondary students, working adults, and young families. Since 2001 we have established several ministries including worship, Sunday School, sports, fellowship, and outreach. An English leadership group of Servant-Leaders was established in 2004.
