The Board of Directors of Murray Christian Fellowship at Murray State University, Murray, Kentucky, is accepting applications for the position of Campus Minister.

Our biggest missing link at Gulf Coast Christian Church is a dynamic family ministry.  We know that a thriving family ministry won’t only have a huge impact on the next generation, but also on families today.  If you’re the type who loves to dream and imagine what it would be like to form a holistic family ministry from the ground up, this just might be the place for you.  We’re looking for a full-time Family Life Pastor to oversee infants through college age.  Because we already have a high-school pastor, your emphasis will be on children’s programs.  However, we know that a true “family life” ministry isn’t just about the kids.  It’s about creating the strategies that will help strengthen families.

Are you looking for the opportunity to do ministry in a popular vacation destination?  The Smoky Mountain Christian Church is located just a few minutes from Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, TN and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

SMCC is looking for an experienced Worship & Family Minister who wants to help people and families find, follow, and worship Jesus.  Your primary responsibility will be the oversight, outreach, and development of all programming for all children/youth from pre-school through high school.  In recent years SMCC has become an older congregation so we’re looking for someone who can be innovative in finding ways to reach and connect younger families to the church.

Sevier County has 5 high schools with an open enrollment; and the area also has a large Hispanic population.  In fact, SMCC has a Hispanic congregation that uses part of our facilities on Sunday/Wednesday nights for their gatherings, and the two congregations have held joint services and outreach events in the past.  But perhaps what makes SMCC especially unique is that we get a lot of visitors (many of them repeat visitors) which creates ministry opportunities!

SMCC currently has a blended worship service with one of the worship teams consisting of some of our high school youth.  So, while musical abilities are not required for this position if you’re someone who also has some worship leading experience (or who just strums a guitar) who might be willing to plan and lead worship 1-2 Sundays a month with some of our youth we’d love to hear from you!

If interested in applying for this position please send resume and any supporting materials to our Senior Minister, Brain Powell, at brian@smokymountainchurch.com.

The Worship & Family Minister position at SMCC is for a full-time position and will be considered open until it is filled.  Salary will be in the $38,000-42,000 range depending on experience.

FYI:  If you happen to look at our website to find out more about us, please know that we’re working on and about ready to go live with a new SMCC webpage!

CREATIVE ARTS DIRECTOR
JOB DESCRIPTION

About the Church:
LifePointe Christian Church – Toano, VA

Background:

LifePointe Christian Church is a young and growing church in Toano, VA (just outside of Williamsburg). LifePointe was planted in 2006 and was a mobile church until it moved into its first campus in late 2021.

Our desire is to be a place where both churched, and unchurched people in our community can call home. Our desire is to harness relationships and conversations to CONNECT people to the Gospel, while providing environments for them to GROW in their faith and love of community, while setting them up for opportunities to SERVE others both in and out of the church.

Founding:

LifePointe Christian Church was planted by WayPoint Church Partners in September of 2006. Since that time, LifePointe has grown with the community that surrounds it.

For the first fifteen years, the church was a mobile church, meeting in a school. In 2021, LifePointe moved into its first campus. This campus was once a horse farm and is comprised of 10 acres and more than 20,000 square feet of meeting space.

Before moving into the new campus, LifePointe averaged around 400 in attendance. In 2023, LifePointe averages around 700 in attendance, with 200+ of those being children under the age of 12.

The Team:

LifePointe’s Ministry Team has grown with the church and is comprised of leaders, each with their own area of expertise and responsibility.  Our current team consists of: Lead Minister, Phillip Murdock (who has been on staff since LifePointe’s launch in 2006); Children’s Director, Scott Kline; Connections Minister, Ryan Dent; Next Gen Minister, Reed Smith; Mental Health Coordinator, Katlin Sisler; Worship Director, Devin Powell*; Office Manager, Liz Becker; and Media Coordinator, Duane Crosby.

*Devin has been with us part-time since 2012 and will not be pursuing the full-time position.

About the Area:

LifePointe is located in Toano, Virginia, just eight miles west of Colonial Williamsburg. The city of Richmond is located just 30 minutes to the west, while the Hampton Roads/ Norfolk area is located 30-45 minutes to the east. The upper James City County area (where Toano is located) is filled with horse farms, older churches (some colonial), and large fields and pastures. However, this end of the county has been the fastest growing portion of the county over the last ten years and is projected to increase in development over the next twenty years.

The community is intergenerational, with sprawling neighborhoods filled with young families as well as large retirement golfing communities. Toano has managed to maintain a small-town feel while growth has entered into the area.

The Williamsburg area has been consistently ranked one of the country’s top tourist locations and one of the top places to raise children, according to several national magazines and publications. The area has excellent schools and tons to do and see. It is surrounded by large rivers (James, York, and Chickahominy), is only an hour away from the beach, two hours to the Blue Ridge mountains, and less than twenty minutes from Busch Gardens, Water Country USA, Jamestown, Yorktown and Colonial Williamsburg. Interstate 64 goes right through this area, making mobility to other areas quick and easy.
