The Latest from our Friends at MinisterSearch.com
WOW – what a great opportunity! One of our newest church clients in the Detroit, MI is less than 10 years old and is already running close to 2000 on the weekends. What will help get them to the next level? YOU! This church is looking to add a Senior Associate Pastor (XP/COO) to the team. The Senior (and founding) Pastor is incredible – he is extremely relevant and gifted – he needs a partner in ministry and this could be YOU.
This is a very diverse, non-denominational church that doesn’t MAJOR on the MINORS. In other words, they don’t get hung up on formality, bureaucracy, and those fundamentalist issues the hinder the GOSPEL being shared! Instead, they show, as Christ does, grace and acceptance to all who come.
The main responsibilities will be focusing on organizational strategy and development. This will include analysis of current ministries, strategic staffing and positioning, so the vision is executed. This is a lean staff which is ready to grow – they just need the right leader at the helm.
The right candidate will be evangelistic and have a desire to see the unchurched/dechurched united with Christ through relevant ministry. He or she will also be passionate about Community Life (discipleship, spiritual depth).
Please make sure you meet all requirements/qualifications. If you do, immediately forward a cover email, resume in word.doc format, and the JOB #1536 to resumes@MinisterSearch.com.
All candidate submissions will require a VIDEO, a cover email and a resume in word.doc format attached.
