Staff Position: Family Pastor
New Life Christian Church is looking for our new full-time Family Pastor.
We are currently in a season of staff transition and are looking for someone with experience to oversee the preschool through high school age range of ministry. This will include vision, planning, and oversight of the whole ministry area, as well as volunteer teams, and at least one part-time staff member.
Experience building and leading teams is a plus, as we know our continued growth will require a shift from staff "doing the work of ministry" to empowering and equipping others to carry out the work of ministry together.
The role itself has some flexibility, as we're looking for the person God has for us to join our team.
Please email kraig@newlife-christian.org with a cover letter and resume if you're interested or would like more information.
