ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a relational, organized, and passionate leader to serve as our Discipleship Pastor. This role is all about helping people feel known, connected, and equipped — from their very first visit to becoming fully engaged, growing disciples of Christ. You’ll create and lead a seamless process that welcomes newcomers, connects people into community, and builds pathways for spiritual growth through small groups, classes, and serving opportunities.
This is a shepherding and systems role — part pastoral, part connector, part builder of healthy ministry environments.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Assimilation Leadership

• Lead a welcoming and effective first impressions strategy that helps new guests feel seen, valued, and connected.
• Develop and manage the processes, communication, and teams needed to move people from visitor to fully engaged member.
• Recruit, train, and lead the Hospitality/Guest Services & Assimilation teams.

Discipleship Development

• Build a clear, churchwide pathway for spiritual growth (e.g., new believer classes, next-step classes, small groups, leadership development).
• Oversee the recruitment, training, and support of small group leaders.
• Provide leadership for discipleship groups, Bible studies, and midweek classes, ensuring alignment with the church’s mission and theology.
• Regularly assess and improve discipleship environments to help people move from spiritual curiosity to maturity.

Team Leadership and Collaboration

• Work closely with pastoral staff and ministry leaders to integrate assimilation and discipleship into every area of church life.
• Partner with communications staff to create clear, compelling next steps for people at every stage of their journey.
• Champion a culture where every person feels seen, supported, and invited to grow.
