    Position Description

    Introduction to LifeSpring Christian Church
    LifeSpring Christian Church has been located in the North College Hill suburb of Cincinnati since 1969. A nondenominational church following the principles established by the Restoration Movement, LifeSpring calls on Christians saved through the sacrifice of Jesus to live by the teaching of the Bible and to join God in bringing a broken world into a full and eternal relationship with Him.

    The LifeSpring congregation is comprised of people of different ages, ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses, and interests. Weekly worship includes one traditional service and two contemporary services on Sunday mornings.

    Worship Leader Overview
    LifeSpring Sunday worship services are intended to create a welcoming environment that motivates all to (1) Focus on God; (2) Grow in their Faith; (3) Build the Community of Believers; and (4) Find Refreshment, Renewal, and Encouragement so they can serve and represent Christ in their daily lives. Music is a core element to accomplish these goals. We are looking for a Worship Leader to lead all aspects of music in Sunday worship, and other music and worship events throughout the year.

    About The Vine Church:

    The Vine was founded in 2012 by a group of believers who desired to start a church in our community to reach people that felt like they didn’t fit into the typical church. We are a church that welcomes everyone who walks in the doors no matter where they are in life. Our main goal is to preach Jesus Christ and make sure everyone that walks in feels welcome and accepted while living out the Word of God. We put a great emphasis on equipping families to disciple within their own homes with our life group ministries. We also have a very strong and growing children’s ministry with a two-year-old children’s/youth facility that will be used by the next person that God calls to our church family.

    The Family Life Pastor will provide the leadership of the family ministry of The Vine. This includes pastoral care, program supervision, leadership development, and overseeing all spiritual instruction of children from birth through 12th grade.

This position will eventually be split into two ministries as the church continues to grow. It will eventually be birth through 5th grade and 6th grade through 12th grade with an additional staff position being changed to full time.

    What You Bring: 

    Education Requirements

    The ideal candidate should have a Bachelor’s degree in Youth ministry from an accredited bible college.

    Years and Type of Experience Required

    We would prefer that the ideal candidate have a minimum of five years of full-time ministry experience but would consider a candidate with less experience.

    Personal Characteristics

    First and foremost, we require a candidate that has a strong relationship with Jesus Christ. We consider this position a calling not a job. Therefore, we desire a candidate that is in love with the Lord and spends time with Him every day.
    We are looking for a person with a passion for equipping parents to shepherd their own children in their own homes and spread the gospel in everyday life.
    The candidate must have the ability to connect with families.
    Agrees with the mission, vision and beliefs of The Vine Church.
    Is a highly motivated leader committed to helping others grow as disciples.
    Has a passion for developing leaders and helping members find a ministry that matches their personal gifts.
