As a church coming out of the plant phase and into an established church, flexibility is necessary as we seek to establish healthy rhythms as a team. While there are duties below, our priority is to find someone in alignment with our church culture and values.
We’re looking for someone who is willing to share the burden of pastoral ministry and desires to serve in a supportive relationship with our church planting pastor, while also serve the evangelistic and discipleship needs of our church.
Our staff team prioritizes healthy cycles of work and rest and values the health of your family above performance and results in ministry. Rather than using ministry to prove our value, we encourage one another to find our value in the gospel. We’re part of a healthy presbytery that encourages these same values and provides strong relational support of one another.
