Spiritual Formation Pastor: Trinity Presbyterian Church

Spiritual Formation Pastor: Trinity Presbyterian Church

The mission of the Spiritual Formation Pastor is to equip the church for growth in maturity in Christ. This will be done primarily through Community Groups, Adult Sunday School, discipleship programs, and steady shepherding of the congregation. The Spiritual Formation Pastor will work closely with the other pastors, staff members, and lay ministry leaders to develop structures, relationships, and rhythms that form members in Christlike maturity.

This is a full-time, ordained staff role, so you will need to be an ordained minister in the PCA to apply.

We are looking for an experienced minister who is proficient in the following areas:

Pastoral Care & Shepherding: We need a pastor who loves people and can walk with them through seasons of joy, suffering, and growth with biblical wisdom and compassion. You must be able to build trust, listen well, and counsel in such a way as to help build up individual members in faith in Christ.

Teaching & Communication: We are looking for a clear and engaging teacher of God's Word in a variety of contexts (classrooms, small groups, and one-on-ones), with strong theological grounding in the Reformed tradition and the gospel of grace. You must also be able to track communication and be responsive across multiple channels without losing details in order to coordinate efforts between groups of volunteers and staff members.

Leadership Development & Training: Success in this position will require skill in identifying, equipping, and mentoring lay leaders to do the work of ministry. We need someone who is comfortable leading leaders, delegating ministry responsibilities, and empowering others. We also need someone who is skilled in developing and implementing training for both new and mature leaders.

Organization & Ministry Development: Competence in building and sustaining systems of care and discipleship is crucial for anyone in this role. The Spiritual Formation Pastor must execute shepherding in the church through others and that requires both relational and organizational gifts in a church of over 450 communicant members.

Collaborative Teamwork: We want someone who can share authority well with other pastors, other elders, and other staff members. Our staff team works together towards shared goals and a shared mission with humility, flexibility, and joy. Pastoring at Trinity requires one to be both humble and confident in his calling and role.
