A Richmond, Virginia-based worship group is seeking an energetic, motivated Great Commission-oriented mover for a full-time elder position in our fellowship. While our core group is in central Virginia, we have a clear mission to connect with and assist other church bodies which are in need of revitalization. This will require an entrepreneurial elder who can both minister in a specific local fellowship and lead the charge as we fulfill our larger mission.
We believe that the elder Jesus has for us will be able to:
• Meet the requirements spelled out in 1 Tim. 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9
• Relocate to the metro Richmond area and live for at least three years
• Work effectively with the other, mostly lay elders in the fellowship, to lead in all aspects of ministry
• Operate with minimal supervision but submit to regular progress and current status reviews
• Preach relevant, timely, biblically based, expository sermons
• Model and exemplify a vibrant prayer life
• Equip and disciple believers of all ages and backgrounds for daily and everyday Kingdom work
• Fully embrace, support, and proclaim the mission, vision, and goals of the ministry
• Grow the ministry humanly, spiritually, financially, and influentially
• Express himself clearly and with excellence through both spoken and written word
• Utilize creativity and critical thinking in establishing and promoting ministry initiatives
• Be comfortable serving in new environments, regardless of denomination and/or cultural differences
• Champion the identification and full use of each believer’s spiritual gifts, individually and in community
