The Evangelical Church of Bangkok (ECB) is in the process of searching for an Executive Director to join the ECB team in our pursuit of God’s mission for the church.

1.ECB Church Profile

ECB is an international church located in the heart of Bangkok (Thailand). ECB was founded in 1966 by the Christian & Missionary Alliance and has over the past six decades grown from a preaching post for missionaries into a multicultural faith community of around 1,000 adults and 200 children from 65+ nations around the world. Next to the centrality of Jesus, ECB’s ministry is built on faithfulness to the Word of God, prayer as a matter of first importance and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

In line with Jesus’ desire for His church, ECB’s mission consists of making disciples for global impact. Central to this mission is ECB’s emphasis on age-appropriate discipleship programs (adults, students and children), LIFE groups (the smaller expression of the larger community of faith) and partnerships with various Christian NGO’s, through which ECB implements its missional strategy.

ECB’s faith community consists of many different cultural and denominational backgrounds, which gives the church a unique feel. ECB’s texture can be best described as one of passionate participation in corporate worship gatherings, hunger for spiritual growth and active participation by ministry volunteers.

International church ministry in a city like Bangkok comes with multiple opportunities and challenges. Shaping and maintaining a welcoming community as the foundation for discipleship, equipping followers of Christ for disciple-making in their everyday spheres of life and increasing ECB’s missional footprint are just three of the many opportunities for ECB in the coming years. International church ministry also comes with challenges, which include doing ministry in an intercultural and bilingual setting and the ongoing need to recruit ministry volunteers given the transient nature of the congregation.
ECB employs a full-time team of 28 people, including pastors (4), ministry leaders (4), office staff (7) and facility staff (13). The ministries are further supported by a committed team of ministry heads and hundreds of ministry volunteers.
