The Grace Brethren Church of Brooksville, part of the Charis Fellowship, seeks a pastor who will shepherd our congregation with biblical truth, compassionate care, and a clear commitment to our mission: helping people Know God, Grow in Christ, and Give of themselves for His glory. This role blends preaching, teaching, leadership, and community engagement, guiding the church family to live faithfully and serve joyfully.
About Our Church Family
Brooksville Grace Brethren Church was planted fifty years ago by three families who began by having Bible study in their homes. Over the past fifty years we have had high and lows but have always committed to keeping God’s Word at the center of all we do. We have been blessed to see may people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior as well as see individuals and the church as a whole grow in Christ. We are elder led and take Titus 2 to heart. Our church is made up of young and old who desire to grow in Christ and to give Christ away to others. We are blessed today to have a wonderful church building that sits on 3.7 acres and is completely debt-free and God has always faithfully provided in abundance for our needs.
