Ebenezer Baptist Church (EBC) in Saskatoon, SK is currently seeking for a godly, relational, and visionary, full-time Discipleship Pastor to guide in the discipleship and spiritual equipping of our greater church family.
Our mission as a church is to point people to Jesus and help them to know and follow him.
Our vision is to establish and multiply multi-ethnic and multi-generational gatherings of Jesus followers who practically and authentically live their faith in every part of their lives and challenge others to do the same. We do this through a process called discipleship. We define a disciple as someone who abides in Christ and takes on the character, ways, and mission of Jesus and helps others to do the same.
We are a community minded, outreach focused and forward-thinking church that actively seeks the Lord in prayer for spiritual discernment and ministry direction. We place a high value on family and on team ministry.
Candidates must be someone of godly character, understand fundamentals of discipling, committed to discipleship, and able to lead others. They must have the ability to make disciples and multiply disciple-makers, willing to spiritually invest in multiple generations, and be relational in connecting with people.
Personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and savior.

Love for the word of God and a devotion to prayer.
Demonstrate spiritual aptitude in hearing and following God's promptings.
Be a collaborative team player with a servant heart.
Demonstrate success in sharing the good news of Jesus and bearing spiritual fruit.

The Discipleship Pastor will help the staff team to keep discipleship at the center of all that we do.

The position would include coordinating gatherings for training, teaching, and coaching disciplers and leaders.
