The Connections Pastor will be passionate about helping them find this.
The Connections Pastor will connect people to meaningful ways to serve Christ. We don’t want to be a church where the pastors do all the work. We couldn’t even if we tried!

The Connections Pastor will also be a core member of the teaching team, preaching 8-12 times per year and will assist the Senior Pastor in planning teaching series.
Position Responsibilities:
Hospitality and Follow-up: caring for each person that comes into our midst so no one falls through the cracks or goes unnoticed.
Connection to Fellowship: helping unconnected people find meaningful Christian fellowship
Life Groups: These groups help people build meaningful friendships as they study scripture, pray, and fellowship together.
Young Adults: We want to prioritize reaching this age group, which has not been our church’s strength.
Parents: Children’s and Youth Ministry are big priorities in our church with good teams in place. Our Connections Pastor will focus on reaching out to the parents of these youth and kids
Connection to Serving: connecting people with ways to use their gifts in service and leadership
