Job Title:
Pastor of Disciple-Making: Lake Forest Church
Job Description:
Pastor of Discipleship/DiscipleMaking/Spiritual Formation
• Do you wake up passionate every day about forming mission-oriented disciples of Jesus, and deploying people into God’s mission for their lives?
• Do you lead others from a north star of a disciple-making vision that is theological, Biblical and actionable by people in their everyday lives?
• Do you long to paint that vision of disciple-making in the way of Jesus on the canvas of a large and growing congregation made up of equal parts new Christians (almost every one of our membership classes witnesses at least one adult conversion), not-yet-activated Christians, and many long-time followers of Jesus?
• Do you finish your to-do lists and excel in a self-directed manner?
• Do you take God seriously and yourself not-so-seriously?
An emphatic “Yes” to all five? Keep reading and consider joining our team. Lake Forest Church – Huntersville is seeking a Pastor of DiscipleMaking. This person will love and develop a stream of leaders from a growing group of imperfect people and help them “discover and live out their role in God’s story” (our Mission Statement). We seek a leader to refresh our strategy, hone our communication, and relationally execute our systems for disciple-making, through team-based ministry. We aspire to a clear and engaging focus on Jesus, both worship and evangelism in Sunday worship, spiritual growth in groups of all kinds for every age, and intentional deployment outward in mission.
