Job Description:
Family Ministries Pastor/Elder
FCC is looking for someone to join our Pastor/Elder team who can partner with us as we move forward in equipping believers to live out their faith in their neighborhoods, workplaces, schools, and volunteer spaces, developing discipleship as a way of life. Community Groups are the backbone of our ministries. We believe that a healthy believer lives in an intentional community with others. This focus on community has allowed us to transition quickly and weather the last 18 months well.
We have historically strong ministries for Children and Students. We are looking to focus on partnering with parents to help them fulfill the role as the primary spiritual caregivers within their homes. While also offering ministries to our community that can support students whose families have yet to connect in faith. The person we are looking to bring on-board will initially primarily focus on these areas, while also serving as an integral part of the Pastor/Elder team.
We are prayerfully seeking to find the person God is calling to be a part of this team, more so than looking to fill a position or complete a list of tasks. It is our desire that this overview helps to paint a picture of the person we are looking to partner with. Our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would begin to reveal His plans for your life, the ministries of Florence Christian Church, and how those may fit together.
