Pastor Trinity Community Church Olympia, WA Category: Music Minister, Worship Pastor & Worship Leader Posted on: January 12, 2010
Job Description:
Dear Pastor,
We are seeking a worship pastor for a church plant in Olympia. Five months ago, I started seeking three other pastors that would join me in starting a church in Olympia, Washington (chosen because it has few evangelical churches, a low cost of living, good schools, etc.). Since that time, I’ve had two pastors commit to the church plant. We are seeking to begin the project in the toward the end of 2010. I am an ordained pastor (non-denominational) finishing my postgraduate degree in applied theology from the Oxford University. Matt has received his MA from George Fox Seminary in Portland OR. Jeff is ordained in the Free Methodist denomination and self trained in theology. If you are interested in this possibility, here is a brief description of the position that seeks to operate in a plurality of pastors with the primary goal of equipping the saints for the work of ministry.
Job Description:
Trinity Community Church (TCC) will be a non-denominational church where the leadership aspires to consist of four Core Pastors. As opposed to more traditional models of leadership combining associate pastors under a senior/lead pastor, TCC plans to operate in a team-based, collaborative leadership system in which four Core Pastors equally share authority and guidance. Practically, this means that together we all discern church vision and direction, shepherd our community, program services and serve on the Board of Elders. Beyond these shared roles, each Core Pastor leads and implements within their respective areas of oversight (Teaching, Worship, Ministry, Community).
Potential Candidates:
We are looking for a worship pastor who lives, leads, interacts and teaches out of their own personal transformation. We will work closely together in shared leadership, so we will need to fit into a work culture that puts a premium on enjoying each other, challenging each other and deferring to each other. We are seeking a worship pastor who can engage our community through healthy interpersonal communication, gracious and truthful community care, diplomatic conflict resolution skills and personal modeling of a growing relationship with Christ. We are looking for a worship pastor who can lead a congregation of people in worship, both in life and musically. We are looking for a worship who can train those gifted saints in the both of these areas, so the church has trained worship leaders for both the small groups and future church plants. We are looking for someone who is formally trained in theology and music. If you feel you’ve done these without the “formal” aspect and you feel you are well equipped for this position, do not hesitate to contact us.
Furthermore, at the outset this position will not be a paid position (in time, if the church grows, we hope to pay our pastors). In the meantime, you, like us, will need to raise your own support.
Blessings
