Senior Pastor

We are a Christ Centered Church. We are a diverse group of people from different backgrounds and at different stages of life. Yet, we all share a common love, gratitude, and commitment to our Savior, Jesus Christ. We recognize that the Gospel is more than forgiveness; it is total redemption from a life of sin and death. This results in Christ-centered worship and a community-wide commitment to grow spiritually and bring glory to Christ.

We adhere to Reformed Theology and hold to the traditions of the Presbyterian Church of America, (PCA). Please visit our website for more information about our church: https://www.cpcgeorgetown.org

Our staff consists of three full time positions: senior pastor, director of discipleship, and office administrator. Part time positions include children's ministry director, youth director, book keeper, music coordinator, nursery coordinator, and treasurer. The annual operating budget, not including the mortgage, is approximately $500,000. A generosity initiative raised building funds sufficient for a 25% down payment and three more years of monthly mortgage payments. The senior pastor compensation package will be set based upon experience and need and will be between $125,000 and $150,000.

Our session consists of five ruling elders. We currently have five deacons. Lay leaders head up the following ministries: prayer, missions, hospitality, sound, men's, women's, senior center, community groups, and prison.

Building

Our church building was completed in the second quarter of 2023. We are located in a business park and the exterior of the building coordinates with the other buildings in the development. Our signage identifies the church and there is a large cross on the south side of the building. The building is visible from a highly traveled Georgetown street. The auditorium seats about 250 people. The building also houses our staff offices, a conference room, four class rooms, a warming kitchen, a large lobby, restrooms, and a children's play area to the rear of the building.

Georgetown

Georgetown is 40 miles north of Austin - the capital of Texas. Georgetown is one of the fastest growing cities in America with a population approaching 90,000. It is the county seat for Williamson County and is benefiting from its proximity to growth in technology companies including well-known names like Dell, Samsung, and Tesla. We also have significant retirement communities in the area including the Dell Webb Sun City Texas which is only one mile from our new building.
