Job Description
Adams Village Baptist Church (AVBC), a medium-sized American Baptist church in southern Jefferson County, NY, is seeking a new pastor to help our faithful, mission-minded congregation (82 active members) discern the path that God has planned for us.

Our hearts and minds are open to the person God has prepared to help us realize our vision: “AVBC - A place where people of all ages connect with God’s word and live it out loud!”
