Communicating God’s Word

The campus pastor will have strong preaching skills and will preach 12 - 18 times each year (senior pastor Roger Knowlton will preach the remaining weeks either in person or via livestream video). Sermons must faithfully and effectively communicate God’s Word aimed at the transformation of God’s people. The campus pastor is responsible for the coordination and supervision of Sunday morning worship services.

Communicating God’s Word is a responsibility that extends beyond the pulpit. In small and large group settings the campus pastor will nurture an environment where Scripture is held to be authoritative, the Spirit is invited to guide and empower and God’s Word is applied to people’s hearts in life-transforming ways.

Developing and Leading Ministry Leaders

• The campus pastor will lead and supervise the Fond du Lac campus staff team, which includes ministry staff serving students, worship, children, tech and campus operations. Through inviting, praying, coaching and evaluating he will lead this team so they can use their gifts and serve the church.
• The campus pastor will identify and develop key men and women who can provide leadership over various ministries.
• One of the primary ways Edgewood makes disciples is through community. The campus pastor will focus on personally modeling disciplemaking and developing a culture of disciplemaking by equipping small group leaders and discipleship guides to make disciples within the church.
• Shape leadership culture by nurturing an environment where leaders are valued, heard, appreciated, resourced and released into well-fitting roles.

Shepherding and Discipling Those Who Call Edgewood Home

• Shepherd the local congregation, initiating one-on-one and small group conversations to help people take their next steps of Christ-centered growth.
• Responsible for the oversight and care of the campus, including weddings, funerals and supporting those who experience challenging life circumstances.
• Work alongside the elders in any matters of church discipline.

As part of the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA), Edgewood is a vibrant, family-oriented church with contemporary worship and expositional preaching. Our leadership is forward-thinking and eager to welcome teammates who are passionate about stewarding growth and mission in a healthy, supportive environment.

Edgewood’s four campuses are each unique, yet united in vision and values, designed to meet the needs of their local communities. The staff culture here is marked by strong relationships, teamwork and a shared commitment to spiritual growth, both for our church family and one another. We believe ministry flourishes in an atmosphere of grace and encouragement, where people can grow in faith and serve with purpose.
