Job description

Baptist Search Partners is excited to partner with Frisco First Baptist Church to find their next Minister of LIFEGroups.

About The Vision

Frisco First touts the idea that people belong where they can know and be known by others. Sunday Morning LIFEGroups are the lifeblood of that idea. More than 75% of worshipers at Frisco First are engaged in a LIFEGroup. The Minister of LIFEGroups is central to helping the church live out its mission of inviting people into relationship with Jesus and each other. The right person will take initiative in growing and expanding the ministry by building leaders, starting new groups, strengthening culture, and helping create pathways for growth.

About The Church

Frisco First is a warm, growing, multi-generational church with over a century of gospel influence in its community and across the world. Its ministry identity is shaped by a simple and memorable discipleship framework: “You BELONG here,” “We BECOME like Jesus together,” and “Others BENEFIT through sharing.” That language is more than a slogan; it reflects a church family that values spiritual growth, authentic relationships, and abundant generosity.

The church is in an important season of preparing for the future. Under the long-tenured leadership of Dr. Chuck Martin, Frisco First has navigated significant changes, including a change in worship style, facility improvements, property acquisition, and new construction. Current priorities include helping people move from attendance to active discipleship and service, expanding LIFEGroups, and continuing campus improvements. The staff culture is relational, collaborative, energetic, and committed to a common vision for the future.

About The Opportunity

A more detailed job description will be provided during the interview process.

The best candidate for this role will bring an inclination to Be Real (I Peter 3:8), Bring Life (Hebrews 10:24-25), and Link Arms (Ephesians 4:2-3) as a part of a team rowing in the same direction. He should have a ministry-based master’s degree and must have experience growing, leading, and developing Sunday morning on-campus groups. In this new role for Frisco First, and reporting to the Executive Pastor, the Minister of LIFEGroups will be responsible for significant disciple-making.
