Job description

Covenant Church and the Pastor of Care role in a nutshell.

We are seeking a proven leader who loves building people more than building programs. Someone who is passionate about developing leaders, creating healthy teams, and helping people experience authentic care and community where lives are transformed by Jesus.

At Covenant Church, our vision is to become a movement of people who live and love like Jesus. We believe discipleship happens when people understand God's story throughout scripture, begin to see how He has been at work in their stories, and discover how He wants to use their lives to love and influence the stories of others through them.

We believe caring for people is at the heart of who we are. We want to be a church where people are known, cared for, encouraged, and supported through every season of life. We also believe the best care happens when people throughout the church are equipped to care for one another, not simply relying on pastors or staff.

Our Pastor of congregational care helps lead and shape our care ministries while developing the lay leaders and teams who make those ministries thrive. We're looking for someone who can equip others to provide meaningful pastoral care, build healthy systems that help us respond to the needs of our congregation, and walk alongside people through life's challenges and opportunities. This includes helping people of all ages, including our seniors, find meaningful connection, spiritual growth, and opportunities to care for others.

We have no desire to become a trendy destination church. We simply want to be a healthy church that faithfully reflects Jesus every day of the week. We believe Sunday is the starting line—not the finish line—and we want every ministry to help people live out their faith where they live, work, learn, and play.

If helping people experience the love and care of Jesus, while equipping others to do the same, resonates with you, we'd love to begin the conversation.

Greenville, North Carolina is a wonderful place to call home.

Greenville is one of the fastest-growing communities in eastern North Carolina, offering the friendliness of a smaller city with many of the amenities of a larger one. Located along the Tar River, you'll find beautiful parks, greenways, great local restaurants and coffee shops, and an affordable cost of living.

Weekend trips to the Crystal Coast and Outer Banks are easy, while Raleigh is just 90 minutes away for concerts, professional sports, and international travel. Greenville is also home to East Carolina University and a thriving medical community, creating a vibrant and growing city filled with families, students, and professionals.

Most importantly, Greenville is a city full of opportunity for the Gospel. We believe God has placed Covenant Church here to help people live and love like Jesus, and we're praying for a leader who wants to invest in this community and help build something that impacts lives for generations.
