Assistant Pastor of Discipleship Full Time

Job Description: Assistant Pastor of Discipleship

Vision: Grace Church Presbyterian is called to make disciples of Christ in Fort Collins by reaching new people and discipling those who attend. In recent years, new visitors have grown Grace’s breadth, now we must steward God’s resources to grow our depth and breadth. To accomplish this, we seek to hire a Pastor of Discipleship called to shepherd new and existing attendees of all ages into rhythms of Word and Prayer. The pastor must get to know our existing church body so he can help new people find the right path toward growth. Additionally, he will grow new initiatives to ensure Grace is healthy for current members. The man must be a gifted teacher, relationally outgoing, organized, and pastorally wise to help people find the discipleship rhythm which fits their age, stage, and maturity. At times he will lead or support existing ministries, in other cases he will launch new ones. In his ministry he must humbly strive to co-labor with other elders, deacons, deaconesses, and staff members, depend on the Holy Spirit, and prioritize proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ – all for the Glory of God. In addition to the specific character qualities outlined for elders/overseers in 1 Tim 3, 1 Peter 5, and Titus 1, the Assistant Pastor of Discipleship must demonstrate humility, hard work, and honesty. Finally, the Assistant Pastor of Discipleship will demonstrate a strong devotion to Christ and His church by meditating on Scripture, remaining steadfast in prayer, and joyfully attending corporate worship.
