When we launch a new campus, staff is one of the primary needs. To get a new campus going in the most efficient way possible, we start with a staff of four.
We love people who can multi-task, and we build a team we call the 'Core Four' to run a new campus.
1. Campus Pastor + LifeGroups and Missions Pastor
2. Worship Pastor + Youth Pastor
3. LifeKids Pastor
4. Host Team + Campus Administrator
As the campus begins to grow, we divide these Core Four positions into distinct roles:
The
Campus Pastor is just that: pastor of the campus! Responsibilities include developing a team, casting vision, and leading ministry within their specific community.
The
Worship Pastor directs the worship and music elements in every experience.
The
Host Team Pastor creates a positive, welcoming experience for every attendee.
The
Youth Pastor teaches and mentors 6th-12th grade students.
The
LifeKids Pastor is responsible for children’s ministry from birth to 6th grade.
The
LifeGroups/LifeMissions Pastor organizes and leads small groups and local missions in the community.
The
Campus Administrator is responsible for all other campus operations.
While we'd love to open a new campus with a full staff, combining key roles into the Core Four allows us to launch a campus with a condensed but effective staff.
Open Idea
Look for people with multiple gifts, talents, and experience. Team members who can cover more than one role means you can staff a department or new location with a relatively small group of people.
