Dear Potential Candidates,
We at First Presbyterian Church, Baton Rouge, Louisiana are so excited about your interest in reviewing our Church Information Form. We hope that this CIF piques your interest in our wonderful church.
While this CIF is nominally directed to an Associate Pastor for Teaching and Leadership, the expectation is that the Associate Pastor who is called will succeed our Senior Pastor of 20 years, Gerrit Dawson, approximately 4 to 6 months following the call. Accordingly, the responses contained in the CIF are more directed to the role of a Senior Pastor. We have attached two separate job descriptions to delineate the expectations of both the interim and permanent roles for which we are seeking a pastor.
We are also attaching our recently completed Strategic Plan by which the session, with considerable congregational input, has set direction for the coming years. We think you will find in these materials a vibrant congregation ready to press deeper into Christ and reach further into the world as our third century approaches.
Again, thank you for taking the time to review our CIF.
Please find our CIF below along with a copy of our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan Report.
Question for the search committee may be sent using the button below.
