Job Description

WHO WE ARE
Our central location in the heart of Farmington, across the street from the University of Maine at Farmington gives us a unique opportunity to be part of this active and vibrant community.
Henderson Memorial Baptist Church (HMBC) is a body of believers in Jesus Christ, organized for the purpose of spreading the Gospel and the teachings and practices of the Baptist faith and tradition.

OUR CHURCH AND COMMUNITY
From the lighted steeple aloft the brick church, one of the oldest churches still serving Farmington, a carillon fills the downtown area and beyond with spiritual music, at noon and 5pm each day, reminding us all that God is very much with us.  Our central location and adjacency to the university create opportunities for this church to serve its community and to benefit from all that the town and the University have to offer.
Farmington is located at the crossroads of western Maine.  This picturesque town is a four-season destination and gateway to the western Maine mountains.
Farmington has a population of 7,760 and approximately 331,000 people living within a 40 mile radius.  The community attracts artisans and writers, outdoor adventurers, professionals, wildlife watchers, foliage lovers and history buffs alike.  This small-town lifestyle also offers a variety of shops and unique eateries, as well as community events and a long list of cultural amenities, book readings, concerts, art shows, plays, and a seven screen movie theater.
