Note from Lead Pastor
The job description may seem pretty huge. That's why a conversation would be helpful.
- In the discipleship areas, I already do most of these things and will keep doing many as we collaborate together. So part of this job description will be shared by me.
- Preaching is very flexible. It's in there if the person wants to develop in this area, but it's not absolutely necessary.
- We will want to have a conversation about our discipleship huddles, which form the foundation of all of our disciple-making efforts. It is the best discipleship tool I have ever experienced.
- Be better together than as individuals.
- Be united in vision and communication at all times.
- Free each of us to be empowered and freed up to serve according to our gifts and abilities.
- Resume
- Cover letter with doctrinal statement, bio and Audio/video links of sermon/teaching/worship leading (if available)
Salary : $2,500
