Description

Resonate Church is seeking full‑time Campus Pastors who will help us make disciples who make disciples who make a greater impact of Jesus by leading a campus of Resonate. As Jesus draws people to Himself from across the Bay Area, our desire is to start Resonate campuses that they can attend in their own geographic region. We are asking you to prayerfully seek God’s call to be part of the moment to see 1% of the Bay Area come to know Jesus in our lifetime. While 8 million people live in the Bay Area, approximately 10% (800,000) profess to be believers in Jesus. Our hope is to see 1% of the remainder (72,000) become believers in our lifetime.

Responsibilities

The Campus Pastor will oversee, shepherd, and supervise ministry at one of the Resonate Church campuses.

• This work is the primary responsibility of the Campus Pastor and is to be done in conjunction with Central Services team members who can help coach staff and serve staff alike
• Campuses are expected to have all ministries listed above led by those that the Campus Pastor is developing. While the number of paid staff will vary by campus, the Campus Pastor is responsible for raising up leadership for these various ministry areas
