Preaching Pastor
Tennessee Avenue Baptist Church in Bristol, Tennessee, is prayerfully seeking a Preaching Pastor to join our church leadership team.
Tennessee Avenue Baptist Church is committed to a shared leadership model, where the Preaching Pastor will serve alongside a plurality of pastors/elders who share in the spiritual leadership, care, and direction of the church.

Lead in the regular preaching and teaching ministry of the church.
