This is a senior staff position that requires effective teaching skill, ability to guide & motivate key lay leaders to shoulder key ministry areas within the English congregation.  We believe the most effective way to oversee ministry is to develop mature believers who can exercise their God-given ministry abilities within the church.  Special emphasis is given to two ministry areas:

1. Development, refinement, and fulfillment of unified church vision, mission, and values (in conjunction with pastoral staff and elders), and
2. Lay leadership development, especially for the elder and deacon level.

We firmly believe God has prepared a special person already. We ask you to join us in prayers to help locate and find this special person in time for summer so our youth ministry can continue and keep the momentum. Attached is a detailed job description, please feel free to forward this to any qualified candidates.
