The Pastor will serve as the spiritual leader of Baglan Community Church, guiding the congregation in fulfilling its mission to glorify God and make disciples of Jesus Christ in South Wales and beyond. This role requires a leader who can inspire and nurture spiritual growth, foster community engagement, and oversee the church's teaching and outreach efforts, working with the other elders and ministry teams. The Pastor will be dedicated to preaching, teaching, discipleship and providing pastoral care.

Main Purpose
To provide visionary leadership for the church, focusing on:

• Preaching and teaching (John 21:15-16)
• Pastoral care (1 Peter 5:2)
• Evangelism and outreach (2 Timothy 4:5)
• Disciple-making church growth (Matt 28)

Baglan Community Church is a vibrant, evangelical fellowship based in the heart of Baglan, South Wales. Established in 2002, the church has grown into a thriving community of around 200 people who gather for worship every Sunday. We're a welcoming, family-focused church with modern facilities at The Centre on Lodge Drive, including a 350-seat hall, meeting rooms, and a community coffee house.

Our Mission
We exist to share the gospel and make disciples - locally and globally. We actively support mission work both in the UK and overseas, partnering with missionaries, mission teams, and local outreach projects.

Church Life
Our weekly activities include house groups, youth and children's ministries, a baby and toddler group, men's and ladies' breakfasts, and a senior lunch. We also run a lively coffee shop that serves as a hub for fellowship and outreach.

Our Team
The church is led by a team of elders, alongside a full-time Pastoral Worker and a part-time Youth Pastor, who together provide teaching, pastoral care, and leadership. Volunteers play a key role across every ministry, helping us serve our growing congregation and community.
