Company info
- Northwest Gospel Church (NGC) exists to glorify God by equipping the church to be the church to fill our region with gospel churches.
- Overview of the Role:
- This role exists to develop clear pathways for discipleship, equip leaders, and ensure every person at NGC is growing in Christ, connected in community, and engaged in meaningful ministry.
- Residents will engage in a tailored set of responsibilities designed to develop competency and build toward greater ownership over time.
- At that point, this position will change to "pastor."
- The CLM/P will provide strategic leadership and hands-on oversight of Bible studies, adult education, community groups, and assimilation-helping people move from first connection to mature discipleship.
- Desired Profile:
- We're looking for a pastor who loves Jesus, loves people, and is passionate about the local church.
- This role will oversee adult classes, community groups, and young adults, helping people grow in discipleship, connection, and spiritual maturity.
- Because we are a growing portable church, this person must embrace an all-hands-on-deck culture where servant leadership, flexibility, and teamwork are essential.
- We're seeking someone who is passionate about building authentic biblical community and helping adults and young adults become mature followers of Jesus.
- Northwest Gospel Church Summary
- Northwest Gospel Church is currently made up of five local churches in Clark County, Washington (Portland, Oregon metro area).
- These five churches are interdependent, locally led, and missionally linked.
- Being interdependent, each church relies on the others in multiple areas of ministry and operations.
- Being locally led, each church is a representation of the local community where it meets.
- And being missionally linked, we plan to train church planters, and plant Gospel-centered churches in the Portland metro area and beyond.
- As a church staff, we see Ephesians 4 as our primary job description, "to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ." As leaders within NGC, we are not primarily "doers" of ministry, but "equippers" of ministry.
- You should see this play out in every Ministerial and Pastoral role within NGC.
