We are seeking a dynamic individual who is a visionary leader and will be committed to preaching and teaching God’s Word and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus to seek and to serve the lost, while building up Christ-followers in their faith. This individual will assist our congregation in spiritual growth and discipling others into a deeper relationship with Christ. You will work alongside the eldership in shepherding our congregation, while leading an amazing staff of 7 individuals.

MACC has recently constructed a new 24,000 square foot debt-free addition to our existing building, which is being used for new worship space (which doubles as our gym), classrooms, fellowship area, and staff offices. We strive to use our facilities to bring individuals into the church with many exciting events.
In our 58-year history, we strive to be a church involved in outreach. MACC is known for meeting needs in the Macomb area. These outreach ministries include our benevolence ministry, offering free Thanksgiving baskets to anyone who requests food, and going out into our community on Christmas Eve to distribute free meals. We offer opportunities for the community to enter our doors with our annual Seder meal, youth events, and a fall festival for hundreds of children in our area. Missions is of great importance to us as we reach out to other ministries throughout our region, the country, and across the world.
MACC is located in beautiful Macomb, Illinois, with a population of close to 15,000 citizens. Macomb is home to the Western Illinois University and our community college, Spoon River College.
