Walnut Street Church of Christ has an exciting opportunity for a Lead Minister who is
motivated and energetic about leading our congregation to the next level. We have
recently experienced a cultural shift that has brought down our median age. We have
established a base of involved, young families, and are seeking someone to lead us in
continued growth. Our leadership consists of a committed team of three elders and
three deacons. While remaining true to our restoration movement doctrine, we are
progressively minded in our methodology. We are constantly looking for new ways to
reach out to our community. Our contemporary worship includes a praise band with a
casual environment. We are family-oriented with an active children’s program. For more
information, see https://wscchrist.org and https://www.facebook.com/wsc.Christ

Primary responsibilities: prepare/deliver sermons and studies; guide small group
program; lead, oversee and direct ministry leaders, deacons, and volunteers under the
oversight of the Elders; attend church events; drive evangelism; and partner with Elders
for pastoral care, visitations, and overall vision. Evaluate ministry effectiveness and
guide leadership in strategic planning.

You may be a good fit for this position if you: have a bachelor’s degree in Biblical
studies; exemplify Christian living; are temperate, self-controlled, hospitable, gentle, and
have a good reputation; possess strong organizational skills; is passionate about
kingdom growth; connect well with youth; have experience in a growing church
environment; consider yourself a “people person” and relate well with a blue-collar, fun-
loving, welcoming, and supportive congregation.

Required skills: confidence in speaking, extensive Bible knowledge, effective verbal
and written communication, and success in relationship management. Knowledge in
Microsoft Office, social media, and website management. Preaching experience
preferred but not required for the right candidate with strong potential.
