Church Relations

We are a church with conservative Christian values that operates with a modern approach to ministry. That makes us fairly unique in our community and allows us to reach a portion of the county that has been largely “unchurched.”

We’ve watched our church plant grow from 4 people to 100+ people since its formation. We hired our lead pastor as our first full time staff member in 2018 and are now looking to hire a second full time pastor (youth and family ministries). Email us if you’d like more information about this position.

Maywood Christian Church in Maywood, NE is in search of a new Preaching Minister following the retirement of the current one. We are a small Restoration Movement church and are praying for an individual who has a deep love for Jesus and for people, who is well-grounded in solid Biblical teaching, and who is willing to accept the challenges of working either full time for the church or bi-vocationally in a smaller rural setting. One of our chief outreaches to the community is children’s ministry, so we would also like to find a person who enjoys teaching children as well as reaching out to their parents.

New Life Christian Church (https://newlife.church) is a modern, multi-site Christian Church in the suburbs of Northern Virginia in the metropolitan area of Washington DC. The original campus, in Chantilly near Dulles airport, is a 28-year-old church plant well-known in their community for their innovative 83,000 square-foot sports complex called the nZone.

Their Linton Hall campus launched in 2005. Pre-COVID the Linton Hall Campus was averaging 250 people on Sunday morning with 7 small groups. More recently they have been averaging 125 people in-person with 11 small groups. Their former Campus Pastor served at New Life for almost 12 years and left on good terms, returning to the Mid-West, closer to family. The Linton Hall campus, located in Bristow, VA is 40 miles from downtown DC, and 16 miles from the mother campus in Chantilly. Bristow is a rapidly growing suburb on the western edge of the Northern Virginia metro area. Now over 40,000 residents, the area has grown more than 300% since 2000.

New Life is searching for someone with a proven track record not only for leadership and preaching but for making reproducing disciples, a leader who can recruit, train, and deploy a unified team of staff, ministry leaders, and volunteers. Must be a driven, self-starter who is looking for a place where they can unleash their inner beast when it comes to making disciples. Their Campus Pastor must be passionate about leading people to experience God, follow Him, and become passionate disciple-makers. In addition to investing in and caring for those at New Life, the Campus Pastor will be responsible for reaching into the local communities to introduce them to Christ. The Linton Hall campus has a very strong connection with their local elementary school, helping families and children in need through a number of different endeavors.

Liverpool Christian Church is located just outside of Syracuse in beautiful Central New York. The area is surrounded by many lakes, mountains, and is home to a number of sports teams, schools, and universities. The area is a snow lover’s paradise with lots of snow in the winter as well as beautiful and temperate summers. Imagine apple picking in the fall, skiing in the winter, strawberry picking in the spring, and golfing in the summer. This is truly a four-season region offering low real estate costs and everything a big city has to offer without the big city hassle. The area is filled with history and a thriving cultural scene.

LCC is a non-denominational Christian Church seeking to reach lost people in our community for Jesus while also focusing on building disciples by providing life groups, equipping classes and events for our church members.

We have a booming children’s ministry, a rock-solid youth ministry, and are proud to have nearly 50% of our people serving in some capacity in the church. LCC is involved in many local community efforts and with our church partner in the Dominican Republic.

Our former minister recently completed an 11-year ministry with LCC, leaving on good terms to serve and lead at his home church in another state. We are searching for our next Lead Pastor who will set and cast a vision for our future with the support of our Elders and staff.

We would love for our next Lead Pastor to demonstrate a heart for leading others into outreach, both globally and locally.

The Maplewood Christian Church is searching for a Lead Pastor

The Maplewood Christian Church (MCC) is a non-denominational congregation planted in 1986 within the brotherhood of independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, although conservative in profile we are not cessationist in belief. Current congregants and leadership have diverse church backgrounds including Catholic, Vineyard, Disciples of Christ, Baptist, and Pentecostal. We are led by a board of Elders, including the Pastor. Deacons provide operational support and additional ministry leadership.

We desire to evangelize our community, bring people to saving relationships with Christ, make disciples, and support and participate in missions, in obedience to God’s Word, with and through his love and grace. We practice believer’s baptism by immersion and weekly communion. We currently have one weekly Worship Service, host Sunday School for all ages, and Wednesday evening Prayer Group, and Adult Bible Study. Wednesday Youth Group has had varied success in the past but has not yet restarted after the shut-down. Several Small Groups meet regularly.  We have` hosted a well-attended VBS annually, last year was cancelled, this year it was virtual, we intend to get back to “normal”. Services have been posted to social media since last year and we are currently transitioning to live-streaming. MCC endeavors to engage in community events and would like to expand that presence.

We have attendees from all age groups with the large portion being senior. Attendance was approaching 100 weekly, prior to the pandemic shutdown, and is gradually rebounding. Located just outside of the northern city limits of Ravenna, Ohio, members reside throughout the communities of central and northeast Portage County, and beyond, this area includes several school districts.

Our building and facilities are mortgage free. Facilities constructed and added to since 1994 include nearly 18,000 sq. ft., comprised of a sanctuary with seating for 150+, 2 multipurpose rooms, and 6 classrooms, a nursery, and a cafe. On nearly 32 acres we have a ball diamond, multiple soccer fields, a picnic pavilion, a creek-side camp site, with the balance of acreage leased for agricultural purposes. A Capital Campaign is underway to support facility improvements and technology upgrades.

The current opening is the result of the Pastor moving on as he understands God’s will for him and his family in this season. There are no special issues in our church body compelling this change, it is part of the natural life cycle of any congregation. The departing pastor is the second in 25 years, and the fourth in the 35+ year existence of this congregation. There was a period of time that the congregation supported a fulltime Associate Pastor, he was called to a Lead Pastor position in another part of the state approximately ten years ago, and the position here was not refilled.

The selected candidate will be expected to:

• Preach weekly and/or arrange for special speakers.
• Regularly be engaged with ministry to all ages with emphasis on teens.
• Provide spiritual guidance in all aspects of church ministry.
• Conduct Bible studies.
• Lead evangelism.
• Encourage Missions and lead by example.
• Counsel
• Make visits in home and hospital.
• Administer day to day business affairs with assistance of a church secretary.
