Leander, TX

Requirement: 3+ years experience managing multiple employees. Purpose: Support, manage and motivate church staff members toward engagement in the vision and mission of North Way, fostering a culture of disciple-making. Also, recruit, equip and lead teams of volunteers in various ministries aimed at life-change. Role-Specific Responsibilities: - Set an example by modeling a lifestyle of pursuing our church’s vision and mission of seeking the life-change of salvation for the unreached, and the life-change of transformation in the life of followers of Jesus. - Care for, manage, and oversee direct reports in order to help them stay healthy and keep on track with their ministry initiatives. - Ensure regular meetings and evaluations with direct reports regarding status of job responsibilities and progress on Ministry Action Plans. - Be available to provide advice, counsel and support to the general staff team aimed at helping them succeed in their goals. - Ensure the integration of leaders and ministries in alignment with our purpose, and pursuit including special initiatives, and staff goal-setting to reach these initiatives. - Lead and oversee a staff leadership team who facilitates staff meetings, training, and strategic hiring in partnership with the Senior Pastor. - Oversee a financial team who provides financial updates and insights for the Elder Board. - Oversee a system that equips and schedules ministers to perform sacerdotal responsibilities including Minister on Call, and officiating weddings and funerals.

Staff Behaviors DEVELOP PEER LEADERS We believe peer leaders work alongside you, not under you. We value developing high-capacity leaders, not hiring more staff or doing most of the work ourselves. Who are your peer leaders? How are you developing them? PLAN TO REST We believe rest is a spiritual discipline that fosters dependency on God and results in vibrant work. Rest needs to be routine, planned for, and taken seriously. This means both weekly and annually through use of vacation time. What’s your weekly rhythm for rest? When is your next vacation? STAY HEALTHY We believe that every part of your life matters to God, not just your job. Every part of your life will affect your broader ministry. You are responsible to pursue health in each area. What are you doing to foster health in your relational, physical, financial, mental, and spiritual life? HELP ONE ANOTHER SUCCEED We believe great teams act like a team. Each member of our team has unique gifts, perspectives, and strengths. Our staff functions best when we’re using our God-given design to help the others succeed. How have you asked for or offered help to a team member? PERSONALLY SHARE THE GOSPEL We believe that our greatest responsibility as followers of Jesus is to make disciples which begins with sharing the gospel. We look for opportunities to personally share the gospel with the people God has placed around us relationally and geographically. Whom are you praying for, and with whom have you shared the Gospel recently? HAVE HARD CONVERSATIONS We believe that trust and unity are built around honest and gracious conversations when misunderstandings, offenses, or unmet expectations arise. We do not drag each other through the mud by complaining to others, backbiting, or assuming the worst. Instead, we assume the best and have a conversation. When have you initiated or received an honest and gracious conversation with another team member? Is there a conversation that you need to pursue? PURSUE BIG GOALS We believe in pursuing a God-sized vision by setting and pursuing big, measurable goals. Once set, we work at them vigorously, diligently and proficiently. The greatest outcome in pursuing a goal is often the pursuit of who we have to become to reach our goals. What goals are you pursuing with your team that are too big to accomplish without God’s help? SERVE WITH JOY We believe our attitude impacts our relationships, and our relationships impact our ability to work toward our vision. Everyone has bad days, but we seek to maintain a spirit of joy, respect, patience, and kindness toward every team member and volunteer. Nobody likes to work with a jerk. Where could your attitude use an adjustment? EMBODY PARTICIPATION We believe our responsibility as leaders is to model the engagement we think will benefit every person in our church family. For us, a normal week is 40 hours + Community Group + Sunday morning. And some weeks are more than normal. We don’t ask our volunteers to make greater time commitments than what we are modeling for them. What am I doing to model engagement in each area as a leader in our church family?

Senior Pastor wanted for River of Life Church in Mason, Texas. We are a church formed in 2004 through the union of two congregations: an evangelical charismatic church established in the 1970s and an evangelical Lutheran church that began in the 1990s. We value the heritage and doctrines of the reformers, and our ministry seeks to be both Holy Spirit-empowered and firmly grounded in gospel-centered Biblical theology. Our previous senior pastors served faithfully for 8 and 14 years, and one remains actively involved to support a smooth transition for the incoming pastor. Leadership is shared with a dedicated team of elders who are deeply engaged in both servant leadership and the spiritual life of the church, ensuring that responsibility does not rest solely on the senior pastor.

Hands-on or hands-off? Connection - Our church’s governing body is made up of elders that teach people how to live in the gospel and equip the church for works of service. How good are you at working with a team both in church leadership and serving and relating with the congregants? Can you give a few examples? Culture - We want a healthy church inside the four walls that goes to influence people outside the four walls. How have you been a “culture-setter” in your church? What are some examples that you have of conflict resolution in a church?
