ASSOCIATE PASTOR NEXT GEN - THE CHAPEL TE ATATU
With opportunity to transition to Lead Pastor
These are very exciting days at The Chapel in Te Atatu Peninsula (Auckland); a vibrant, growing, multicultural, multigenerational faith community… and so much more.
Our three websites will give you some insight into who we are and who we aspire to be:
www.thechapel.org.nz | www.followjesus.nz | www.peninsulacommunitytrust.co.nz
However, as they say, you really need to be here to experience a little of what God is doing.
Brian Spicer has been lead pastor at The Chapel since February 2015 and we are now looking to set a course for pastoral succession. Brian’s plan, Lord willing, is to transition leadership to a new lead pastor and then continue serving both church and community in retirement.
As a next step, we are looking for a full-time Associate Pastor (AP) who will have a clear calling to, and will be given responsibility for, raising up the next generation (NextGen) of leaders for church and community.
Our current ministry to children, youth and young adults is going from strength to strength and the AP will have primary focus on, and demonstrable passion for, this age group… continuing the current process of discipleship and leadership development.
The AP will work in very close partnership with Brian, sharing some of the Sunday preaching / teaching responsibilities and will, as needed and opportunity arises, gradually take on more of the lead pastor role, eventually taking over this role as Brian retires, somewhere around 2030.
A strong personal faith is essential, alongside prayerfulness, a passion for the Word and an commitment to seeing the Word lived out in our communities. He or she would have a desire to teach and lead with humility and would maintain a relational approach and a willingness to connect across cultural and generational boundaries.
A more comprehensive job description is available on request. This is a paid position and can be either full time or part time transitioning to full-time.
To make further inquiries, or to request a copy of the full Position Description, please contact Brian Spicer. (brianlspicer@gmail.com | 022 3512291)
