Lead Pastor

LaCrosse Community Church

The Big Picture

LaCrosse Community Church offers an undeniable opportunity for a person seeking a position as a part-time (possibly bi-vocational) Lead Pastor in a small and friendly church and community. The church is looking for someone who feels called to minister in a small rural community and has a passion to inspire and motivate God’s people to come to Christ and have a relationship with Him – someone with the heart of God Himself, friendly and approachable, and a skilled messenger of God’s Word. This person will be living in a highly visible rural community and therefore needs to display the proper characteristics of good discipline and personal integrity. They are seeking a “Good Shepherd” to assist the members of the church body.

Job Profile

  • Part time (possibly bi-vocational)
  • Deliver well-structured, Spirit-inspired, and easily understood messages that are authentic and deeply rooted in the Word
  • Preach clear, inspiring, and engaging Bible-based messages that can be applied in a congregant’s daily life (ability to create slide presentations to assist in leading the congregation is highly recommended)
  • Reach out to folks who enjoy the old hymns as well as the more contemporary music lovers
  • Work beside, lead, motivate, and administer the goals and missions of the church board and body
  • Identify and employ the Spiritual Gifts in the church body and use them for the benefit of the church’s work
  • Comfortably engage in casual meetings, greeting, and visiting – both in the church and on the street – with those in the community
  • Work with other pastors and Christians in the LaCrosse community and surrounding area without regard to their particular denomination

Qualifications

  • Excellent communication skills; open and approachable by all age groups, able to communicate and integrate with every generation
  • Strong knowledge of culture, language, and Biblical history is required
  • An M.Div. is preferred, but the church is open to anyone who is well-qualified to convey the intended message of the Gospels and meet the needs of the church
  • Willing to listen and learn from the experiences of others about the workings of the church
  • LaCrosse Community Church is a member of Mission Northwest (https://missionnorthwest.org).
