JOB POSTING FOR PASTORAL POSITION

First Baptist Church, located in the capital city of Raleigh, North Carolina, is a historically African-American church that was established in 1812. It currently seeks a Pastor to lead its congregation. The church is situated in the heart of a vibrant downtown community where people live, shop, and work; it is one of four churches surrounding the State Capitol. The church is listed on the Historical Registry and is known for hosting community events like the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. The First Baptist Homeless program is the church's hallmark outreach ministry, having served breakfast to the homeless and offering worship services to them every Sunday for decades.
