The Role: Pastor

Meet Christ Community Church:

Christ Community is a non-denominational family church built on Christ. The mission of Christ Community Church is to know Christ and make Him known by sharing the Gospel with our church family, youth, local community and throughout the earth. We seek to grow deeper in relationship with Him daily, and to partner with other churches who desire the same, expectant that revival is on the horizon.

About the Pastor:

Christ Community Church seeks a shepherding pastor with management skills, complemented with team-building experience, who can strategically execute our vision. Thus, we seek a man whose preaching clearly shows the relevance of the gospel to people’s lives, who equips the saints for the work of ministry, and who is steadfast in prayer, convinced that power in the Lord’s work comes by God’s means and His blessing. Christ Community Church believes that God’s man will have a shepherd’s heart for family, congregation, and community. The ideal candidate has experience in living out the Christian faith in a family setting. He aligns with the pastoral qualifications found in Acts 20:28, 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9, and 1 Peter 5:1-4.

He works closely with the church elders and ministry leaders in the areas of worship, education, administration, stewardship, and outreach. He has a genuine love and concern for the members and enjoys providing pastoral care through prayer, wisdom, and guidance as he empowers and encourages them to live out their gifts in obedience to scripture. (Eph. 4:11-13).

The pastor responds to the needs of the congregation. He partners with the elders, staff, congregation, and our ecumenical community of believers. He leads and guides them in truth, grace, and unity as he works for the Lord. (Col. 1:18).
