Position Responsibilities

The primary role is to oversee two of our core strategies: Gospel Communities & Equipping. You will also be serving at-large to help us build overall shepherding capacity in our church.

Gospel Communities

Our small groups function as one of our primary shepherding structures. Specific responsibilities within GCs include:

  • Oversee the small groups ministry: group health, assimilation, multiplication, training, etc.
  • Shepherd specific groups. Each of our elders oversees 2-4 groups, which involves coaching and caring for leaders, meeting with members in those groups, and sharing group updates and needs with elders. When the number of groups exceeds the capacity of our elder team, part of your role will be to fill that gap.
  • Build a leadership pipeline to identify, deploy, and develop future GC leaders.
  • Develop tools & resources: group discussion questions, training materials, group health assessment, etc.
  • Gather and share stories of how God is at work in our GCs.
  • Participate in strategic planning for GCs, help implement that plan and troubleshoot problems.

  • Be able to teach classes effectively and occasionally preach.
  • Plan and manage all equipping opportunities (e.g., classes, events, cohorts).
  • Develop and/or curate resources, classes, and events for specific needs (e.g. marriage, parenting, singleness, faith & work, etc.)
  • Integrate certain elements of the equipping ministry with our leadership development pipeline. This will involve content development as well as training leaders in various settings.
