About Our Church
Highland Park Evangelical Free Church (HPEFC) is a community of believers gathered around our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. A few years ago we experienced significant division, revealing that our church lost sight of Gospel-centeredness and unity. We are thankful to be working with a transitional pastor (January 2023-present) and have seen God at work, bringing focus, healing, and unity to our congregation. God has been reshaping what we value as a church, firstly in a renewed desire for Bible-based, gospel centered preaching. Second, there has been a hunger for fellowship outside of Sunday worship, with many in our congregation getting involved in Bible studies and prayer groups. Third, our value for outreach is growing: to be salt and light in our workplaces, in our local school, and in camp ministry. Our Church is one of four rural churches that supports Living Springs Bible Camp. Our typical worship gathering is around 80 people, young families with kids elementary age and below representing a large part of that number (~20 families). We are located in New Norway, a community of around 300 people and a K-12 school. We are surrounded by a large farming community and are 15 minutes from the city of Camrose (pop 19,000).
We Are Looking for a Pastor Who:
Is Equipped to Teach
- Loves the word of God and practices knowing and applying the word in his own life
- Believes that consistent, gospel centered, biblical teaching for everyday life is worth labouring over week after week, as this shapes God’s people into his likeness.
- Applies the gospel to real life
- Is skilled in exegeting the scriptures (whether verse by verse or topically) and has courage to teach whatever God counsels through his word
Is a Shepherd
- Cares about the spiritual health of his people and evidences that care through prayer and intentional relationships
- Encourages people to live according to God’s design by challenging sin and inviting them to deeper obedience and discipleship, and faithful Christian witness in their workplaces
- Is gospel-oriented when giving life advice and counsel
Is a Humble Leader
- Joins the elders in serving the church by providing spiritual oversight, prayer, watchfulness, and pastoral care
- Sees other’s God-given abilities and disciples them into service
- Values ongoing spiritual maturation of the church and works to create a culture of growth through scripture or other resources
- Demonstrates a love for his family over his work and ministry
