Head of Staff

 You are invited to join with and lead a very active, energetic, and Jesus-focused group of people
 who are impacting daily the lives of our local neighbors with a desire to make Jesus real to
 them. With over 80% of our congregation actively involved in our ministries, we are blessed to
 be a strategic and valued part of our community by ministry recipients, other local churches, the
 local school administration, and by the leadership of our city
 The ideal candidate for this position will possess a servant's heart, driven by a
 deep-rooted passion for serving others and expanding the reach of the congregation to
 better assist the surrounding community. This leader will have the ability to cultivate an
 environment where each member of the congregation feels empowered to use their
 unique gifts and talents to further the church's purpose of being a beacon of hope and
 compassion in the neighborhood. This candidate will also have the ability to be a
 teacher of all ages who will speak the truth of Jesus to those who need guidance.
 Weare looking for a leader in the city council or advisors to our city elected officials to
 gain support and awareness of needs in the community to fulfill our missions intact. We
 also look for someone who will grow our congregation to serve more of our neighbors
 better. Although we live in an affluent city, poverty is all around us and many do not
 show signs of struggle. Our ideal candidate will be someone who doesn't run from
 conflict within our congregation and doesn't micromanage all serving but trusts the
 volunteers to lead the mission with a passion for Christ.
 In order to strengthen and grow the ministries of For Our Neighbor and the spiritual life
 of CrossRoads, our pastor will lead and serve with other leaders/elders in the edification
 and guidance of the wise use of the people and material resources entrusted to us.
 He/she will have the keen ability to balance being the leader of the congregation with
 the humility to be led by Jesus alone.
 Wedesire someone who is passionate about sharing the good news of Jesus with
 those in our community who do not know Jesus and in training and encouraging our
 congregation to do the same.
