• You want to advance God’s kingdom and believe developing leaders and teams along with clearly executed systems and structures are key components to fulfilling God’s cause in the Student Ministries.

A LITTLE HISTORY AND CONTEXT ON LIFEPOINTE CHRISTIAN CHURCH:

Located in Elk Grove, a suburb of Sacramento, California, LifePointe is a non-denominational Christian Church planted 14 years ago by the Senior Pastor, Chris Delfs, through STADIA: New Church Strategies (www.stadia.cc). Visit our website at: lifepointe.org

We RELENTLESSLY pursue pointing people to the abundant, joy-filled life Jesus came to give us. Through a relational context, we pursue this abundant life by building GENUINE relationships with others – and developing a DEEPLY DEVOTED relationship with Jesus. We preach the word with PASSION! In theology we are biblically conservative but in methodology, our approach is culturally relevant! 

Our current Student Ministries Pastor is transitioning into the Adult Ministries Pastor. We have a solid student ministry in place with about 100 Junior High/High School students and a strong adult leadership team of about 24 people. 

LifePointe stands on the edge of exciting opportunities and anticipates God bringing tremendous growth in the near future (both spiritually and numerically) within all our ministries. This person has the opportunity to help LifePointe take our next steps so that we can make an even greater kingdom impact upon our community. So we need just the right person…….. and we’re praying – BIG TIME!
