The NextGen Pastor will be teachable and have a strong commitment to self and staff development. Viable candidates must give evidence of the ability to lead and appropriately hold accountable individuals, groups and teams that produce measurable results against the predetermined goals and objectives. A participative, collaborative, team-oriented culture is the desire of the church, and this leader must be characterized by these same values.
While seminary degrees and ordination are preferred rather than specific requirements, a well-established theological construct, ecclesiology, and an in-depth knowledge of scripture is necessary for the wisdom and biblically-based, decision-making demands of this position. Leading candidates will possess a biblical theology that is consistent with that of the Pastor.
This position is a full-time position. The salary and benefits package will be determined and recommended to the church at a later date depending upon the needs of the candidate being considered.
