Job Description:

IMAGINING CHURCH

Imagining isn't just our name. Imagining is what we do. Specifically, we are imagining what God could do, what a church could be, and who we could b_noemaile. We exist because we believe every person needs a relationship with God, a church to call home, and a new way to live. We are a wide-eyed group of solid believers who are bent on risking everything we've got to reach everyone we can. We specialize in reaching the tough ones who refuse to believe, the young ones who are walking away, the wounded ones who aren't_noemailing back, and the religious ones who need a grace-based relationship with God through Christ. We intentionally create environments and design opportunities to make it easier for people to encounter THE living God in a loving church. But reaching isn't all we do. We are_noemailmitted to making and maturing followers of Christ in every age and stage of life and faith.

We are Imagining Church. We are a two year old, fresh, authentic, worshiping church of about 350 people located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. We have our mission, values, and vision in place. God is working, people are responding, ministry is happening, and we are growing. Imagining Church is different by design. We want to be out of the box, in the way, loud, known, and felt. We want to be culturally current, technologically sharp, and incredibly effective at seeing, inviting, reaching, loving, leading, and impacting people for Christ.

If what you just read makes your heart beat faster and your palms get sweaty, you may be an Imaginer at heart. Want a job?
