Lead Pastor

Situated centrally in Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates, the Al Ain Evangelical Congregation (AAEC), is a church of approximately 250 members. Al Ain Evangelical Congregation is a place for everyone. A multicultural, inter-denominational, evangelical, Bible-believing church. Our vision is threefold:

• To lead people to a personal relationship with God through the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to seek to fulfill the Great Commission.
• To teach and preach the message of the Word of God, the Holy Bible.
• To provide for the spiritual care and nurture of members through worship, instruction, fellowship and service.

AAEC is seeking candidates for the position of Lead Pastor in pursuit of leading the church with God’s mission. We are an English-speaking expat community situated on a church compound with diverse people groups. The Lead Pastor will serve as the primary spiritual leader and will be accountable to the Elder Board. The Lead Pastor’s salary is expected to be partially funded by Al Ain Evangelical Church while also being self-funded by either a sending agency or otherwise.
