About Dhaka International Christian Church (DICC)
Pastoring at DICC
Dhaka International Christian Church (DICC) is seeking a gifted, humble, and Gospel-centered Pastor to provide spiritual and ministry leadership to a diverse international congregation in Bangladesh.
DICC is an independent, English-speaking evangelical church serving the international community in Dhaka. The congregation includes Christians from many nations, cultures, and evangelical traditions, as well as some with little or no previous church experience.
Because the congregation is highly transient, ministry at DICC has an unusual multiplying effect. People regularly arrive in Dhaka, remain for several years, and then relocate elsewhere. The Pastor therefore has the opportunity not only to shepherd a local congregation, but also to equip Christians who will carry what they have learned into churches, workplaces, families, and communities around the world.
DICC’s Vision and Mission
Vision
To be an international, non-denominational church that God uses to see lives of Christians — in Dhaka, Bangladesh, South Asia, and the world — transformed by the reality and power of the kingdom of God.
Mission
In keeping with Matthew 13:31-32, DICC ministers to the international community by:
Nurturing through expository preaching and teaching from the Bible
Caring as expressed in prayer and Christian fellowship
Equipping to apply the Christian faith in their lives
Actively engaging in corporate worship and service to the church
