TN: The Peytonsville church is seeking a part-time occupational pulpit minister to preach twice on Sundays and to lead adult classes on Sunday morning and Wednesday night. “Ideally, the minister will have a degree from a conservative, brotherhood-related education institution such as Freed-Hardeman, Faulkner or Harding, or a certificate from a brotherhood preaching school, but this is not an absolute requirement. Peytonsville is a tight-knit congregation of about 30 Christians in a rural part of southern Williamson County, an area which will not be rural much longer!” They have two elders. The congregation is about 135 years old, the current building was constructed in the 1950’s and is located just yards from the original one-room clapboard building constructed in the late 1800’s. The auditorium seats 200 with 8 classrooms and a fellowship hall that comfortably seats 150 for dinners and events. The building is located less than a mile from the Peytonsville-Trinity Road exit on Interstate 840, the south bypass around Nashville. Contact Norman Bobo, normanbobo1@gmail.com.
