Howard Memorial Presbyterian Church in Tarboro, NC is actively searching for a Head of Staff / Senior Pastor who will lead HMPC with enthusiasm, creativity, and a love of Jesus to where God calls our church to be.
Our church is in the beautiful historic town of Tarboro, North Carolina and our congregation is approximately 300 members. Located in eastern North Carolina, Tarboro has a population of approximately 12,000 residents. Tarboro, chartered in 1760, and HMPC, founded in 1874, have both carefully preserved their history while embracing contemporary growth allowing our community to honor its tradition as it nurtures a congregation to serve God today. HMPC is located in downtown Tarboro among many notable features listed on the National Register of Historic Places within a 45-block Historic District which includes one of two remaining original colonial town commons in the country, the other being in Boston, MA. We are a vibrant arts, travel, food, sports, service and social loving community.
Howard Memorial Presbyterian Church has a long history of mentoring and developing exceptional ministers who have grown amongst our loving and nurturing congregation and gone on to become outstanding leaders in our denomination. Our last two ministers, Christopher Edmonston (now at White Memorial, Raleigh, NC) and Benjamin Kane (now at 2nd Presbyterian, Little Rock, AR) are the latest examples. We understand the challenges a new pastor may face when uprooting from a current position and our congregation is committed to supporting our next pastor as they grow into the role God calls for them at HMPC. In addition to day-to-day encouragement, HMPC is blessed to be able to support its next Head of Staff / Senior Pastor in the following ways:
Competitive salary and housing allowance
Retirement plan contributions
Educational expense account to support CE and doctorate studies
Mileage/business expense allowance
Paid time off for vacation, personal days
Full family medical coverage under the new Presbyterian System
Three month sabbatical after 5 years at HMPC
Very favorable financial support for the purchase of your new home in Tarboro
Encouragement and support for a balanced lifestyle

Beautiful historic sanctuary and grounds
Outstanding support staff
Dedicated, capable and supportive Session (unicameral system)
