Our hope is that our Discipleship Pastor would care for and train House Church leaders, resource the ministries of Grace, and lead us in equipping the saints for the work of ministry. He would also serve as an overseer for the church, supervising staff members and bearing the weight of an elder, and preaching 6-10 times a year.

This role became available because after 10 years of faithful service our beloved Campus Pastor and his family are being sent to Guatemala serve with one of our International Partners. God is moving at Grace Church and we are excited about who He might bring to join the team. Thank you for prayerfully considering the role.

This role is designed to be a hybrid overseeing house churches, equip classes, ministries of Grace and overall spiritual formation of Grace Church. We don’t expect applicants to be equipped to lead in all of these areas right away, but want to make sure they know the scope of responsibility. We’re happy to provide training and support along the way.

The Discipleship Pastor of Grace Church will be responsible for House Church, Discipleship, Ministries, Equip Classes, and a portion of Sunday Gathering.

The position will call for excellent organization, people management, and communication skills as well as management skills including multi-tasking and prioritizing.

The Discipleship Pastor will need to be a shepherd who is passionate about people being transformed into the likeness of Jesus, and developing them along the way.
