Job Overview

Hope Chapel is searching for a full-time and experienced pastor to serve as Pastor of Community and Mission. This is a new position that has been developed as part of a three-member Leadership Team that will share authority equally. Our church believes at this point in our story a shared leadership model will serve us best rather than the traditional senior pastor model.

These leaders will serve in submission to the Leadership Team and the Session.
