Description of Organization

Grace Presbyterian Church is a 156-year-old church with 1500 members and a Sunday attendance of about 1100. We have outstanding preaching, worship, ministry, and fellowship. What we haven't had recently is a people committed to befriending non-Christians and naturally sharing the gospel with them in the neighborhood, workplace, classroom, fitness centers, and leisure activities. However, our culture is changing. Our new Senior Pastor came from a Campus Outreach background, and we've been training our people in relational evangelism. We need an Adult Ministry Pastor with energy and experience to help facilitate the movement of people from non-Christian to new Christian to maturing Christian to multiplying Christian.
