Greetings,
My name is George Myer and I serve as an evangelist (part-time) for the CornerStone church of Christ, Baton Rouge, LA. I also head up a search committee as we are looking for a full-time evangelist/preacher.
Our congregation’s first gathering was January 16, 2022. We had 31 baptized believers who were committed to working and worshipping with us on that day. Today we have about 45. Although this is not extraordinary growth, we praise God for it. This growth has come from baptisms and from move-ins. Our goal is to find someone who can be evangelistic as well as help us in our outreach.
Our congregation is mostly Caucasian with 7 minorities. Our original members came about due to our former congregation splintering and our average age is about 53. Many in our Restoration Heritage would describe us as ‘Traditional’. Though I am not partial to that term it gives a general description of our direction that includes, Male leadership (we have 3 elders), A cappella worship, weekly taking the Lord’s supper, believer’s baptism after hearing, confessing and repenting, marriage is between the two genders, compassion toward the lost and a desire to save versus condemn (John 12.44-50).
The person who we will hire will have a desire to seek and save the lost, encourage and instruct the saints to do the same, able to preach and teach the word from the pulpit and at the coffee table. We have not put age or marital restrictions on our search criteria. We are much more interested in things like his heart, character, spiritual direction, a love for God and His Word, His people, the lost and solid doctrine. We are also looking for openness to being shepherded as well helping us shepherd.
Our financial position is strong and salary will be based on experience. We want our staff to be concerned with his role and not be overly burdened with financial issues.
We do have a website: https://www.cornerstonechurchofchristbrla.com/. Our mailing address is 151 Ponderosa Dr., Baton Rouge, LA 70819.
