Hiring Campus Pastor at Oak Leaf

January 4, 2011 in Inside West Ridge with Comments Off

UPDATE: The application deadline has passed.

For those of you who are not aware, Michael Lukaszewski announced a few weeks ago that he’s heading to New York City to plant a new church. Through that process, West Ridge Church accepted the invitation to take on Oak Leaf as a campus. After working with Brian and Michael to design the role to best fit West Ridge and Oak Leaf’s needs, we are ready to proceed with finding the right person to fill that critical leadership position.

__________

Are you a natural leader? Do you have a passion for God and for people? Do you have an inclination to do things differently? Then you may be the right fit to become our next Campus Pastor at the Oak Leaf Campus of West Ridge Church in Cartersville, Georgia.

How you are wired:

Dynamic Leader – You know how to lead and empower a diverse group of people.
Connector – You desire to network with people and build teams and understand the power of “we”.
Evangelist – You are a gifted storyteller and know how to motivate and inspire through one-on-one interactions and platform communications.
Strategic Thinker – You envision the steps that it takes to get from here to there.
Character – You’ve demonstrated integrity over the years in your words, relationships and actions.
Likability – You have the spiritual gift of sarcasm. You make people laugh. And, doggone it, people like you!
Experience – You’ve helped lead healthy, growing ministries…but not necessarily as the senior pastor.

If you are selected for this role, your primary responsibilities will include championing the West Ridge mission, vision and values. You’ll identify, recruit and develop staff and volunteer leaders for various ministry teams, and then lead the campus staff. You’ll lead the weekend services at the Oak Leaf Campus. You’ll cooperate with the West Ridge lead team to shepherd the West Ridge DNA at the Oak Leaf Campus as expressed in the church’s “Campus Constants”.

Additionally, your role will include the responsibility of pastoring the local congregation including periodically performing pastoral care responsibilities like weddings, funerals, baptisms, child dedications and counseling. You’ll manage the campus budget, and connect with the other campus pastors under the leadership of the Pastor of Ministries. (That’s currently me!) If gifted, you’ll also participate on the teaching team for the weekend services, but that’s not necessarily a requirement of the job because we have many other gifted teachers.
