Executive Pastor – Brownsboro, Texas

Union Hills Baptist Church, in Brownsboro, Texas, is looking for an Executive Pastor. This isn’t just a ministry position, it’s an invitation to shepherd a growing family of faith in East Texas. Union Hill Baptist Church sits in Brownsboro, a close-knit Henderson County community about ninety minutes southeast of Dallas, where small-town roots and genuine hospitality still define daily life.

With an average attendance of 200-250, Union Hill is large enough to offer real ministry impact and small enough that every member is known by name. Our congregation is united by a simple conviction: that real hope is found in Jesus Christ, and that hope is meant to be shared. We are committed to reaching Brownsboro and the surrounding communities with the Gospel, and to cultivating a church where every generation … longtime members and first-time guests alike … finds a genuine sense of belonging.

We’re also a church in a season of momentum, prayerfully seeking leaders who share our heart for people and our vision for what’s ahead. If you’re drawn to authentic community, Gospel-centered ministry, and the opportunity to shape the future of a healthy, growing congregation, we’d love to talk with you.

Active, mature faith in Jesus Christ; lifestyle consistent with biblical standards for church leadership (1 Timothy 3, Titus 1).
5+ years of full-time ministry experience with demonstrated leadership across multiple ministry areas.
A strong communicator and systems thinker who can build operational infrastructure without losing the relational, pastoral heart of ministry.
