Pastor of Preaching and Discipleship
Benton Street Baptist Church is seeking a full-time Pastor of Preaching and Discipleship to serve in an associate pastor role and join our team of elders.
Located in the heart of Downtown Kitchener, Benton Street Baptist Church (BSBC) has served our community for over 150 years. Today, we are excited to see God building on that foundation as He leads us into a new and exciting season of ministry.
Over the last few years, our church family has experienced significant growth and change. We now have approximately 300 people of varied ages and cultures who come from all walks of life to unite around the life-changing power of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit is stirring the hearts of our people to abide deeply with Jesus and reach our city with the Gospel.

In March 2025, Pastor Jaye Rice moved into our Lead Pastor role, after serving in an associate pastor position at BSBC for 17 years. His role is to discern vision in this new season and develop strategies to teach, equip and mobilize our people to share the Gospel. He does this by providing leadership to our staff team, board and other ministry leaders. His work also includes preaching approximately 25% of the time.

The Pastor of Preaching and Discipleship will be the primary Sunday morning preacher. He will be a man who is passionate about helping people understand the Bible. His excitement about the Word of God will encourage people of all ages to follow Jesus and transform our city with the Gospel so it becomes "in Kitchener, as it is in heaven."
