Job Listing - Campus Pastor

Description:

Resonate Church is seeking full time Campus Pastors who will help us make disciples who make disciples who make much 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.

Resonate Team Culture:

As staff of Resonate Church we are committed to being:

• Family & Team – We are in both covenant relationships with each other as family members in the body of Christ, but we are also in a contractual relationship as employees (team members) of Resonate. We believe that we can be most effective by ministering and caring for one another as brothers and sisters in Christ first, but we also take seriously our responsibilities to be great stewards of the gifts and resources that God has entrusted to us.

• Servants – Our team will adopt the posture of chief servants for our entire church community. Because Christ came in the form of a servant to serve and not to rule, we long to obtain the character of our King and adopt the posture of servant to one another, other teams, and the church at large.

• Equippers – The chief objective and metric of our team is the development of disciples and leaders in the mission of God. The primary task of our team is cultivating disciples and leaders to the glory of God, regardless of the job function performed.

• Excellent – Both the people we serve and the work we do will reflect the magnificence of God and our desire to work with all our heart, and with all the urgency as unto the Lord and not to men. These core team identities will dictate how we engage with one another, with the rest of our staff team, and among our wider church body.

• Culture – We use the Resonate Culture Guide as the basis for ourselves and our team objectives. Our desire is to emphasize culture so we don’t have to have a lot of rules.
