Position Description

Overview of Church and Community

Logos Baptist Church (York Region) (LBC YR) is a bilingual church in Chinese (Cantonese) and English. The number of English congregation, Chinese congregation and children congregation in-person worship participants is ~27, ~51 and ~17 on average respectively, from January through June 2025.

Congregational Personality & Culture

The congregation is primarily described as 'Open and Friendly' and 'Community Minded', reflecting a welcoming and relational culture. Small groups concept is used for fellowship and to walk closer together in life amongst congregants, striving to practice discipleship together.

Leadership Vision

The church views the ministry gifts of Teacher, Preacher, and Shepherd as essential. Key leadership traits include being biblically oriented, spiritually mature, and a good communicator. Top ministry priorities for the next pastor are discipleship, preaching, teaching and leadership development.

Community Profile

The church is located in a transitional or static-growth community. The church views outreach and engagement as ongoing challenges, with a heart for evangelism. While community outreach is seen as a medium priority, there is a desire to see it grow. For additional context, church leaders are growing weary as the English congregation transitions from a larger congregation to a smaller one while balancing the effort to maintain a similar level of serving as a larger congregation.
