Mosaic Church

Adult Ministries/Executive Pastor

Ocean Springs, Mississippi

Why I Love This Opportunity

Todd Clark

Senior Associate

The Adult Ministries Executive Pastor role at Mosaic Church in Ocean Springs is an opportunity for a gifted, energetic and creative leader to join the executive leadership team of a dynamic and culture shaping church. Mosaic is seeking an intentional leader who can develop people and discern direction.

This opportunity is creating a new role at Mosaic in an effort to expand executive leadership and experience continued growth.

About This Organization

Mosaic is located on the gulf coast of Mississippi in one of the greatest small towns in America – Ocean Springs. Ocean Springs has a reputation as an arts community. Its historic and secluded downtown area, with streets lined by live oak trees, is home to dozens of art galleries, restaurants, and vintage shops.

Brandon Conner is the senior pastor at Mosaic Church and believes the teaching of God’s Word contains both deep expository content and relevant application. Brandon joined the team on January 1, 2017, and is building a 20-year team that will work together to impact the coast for Christ. Brandon has his doctorate in evangelism and church growth and is a champion of our church’s vision (“to help broken people become brand new people by teaching them to follow Jesus.”)

Our desire is to see our adult ministries be our number one avenue for discipleship. While we want to reach the lost through everything we do, the ministries to our adults exist to help people get connected to the church, each other, and grow in their relationship with the Lord.

Mosaic average weekend attendance is over 2,300.

  • Trust- A winning team is comprised of people who are trusting and trustworthy. When we see a pattern of behavior that causes concern, we commit to running towards difficult conversations and holding one another accountable by being honest and transparent with one another. I’ve got their back, and I know they have mine.
  • Vision- A winning team is comprised of people who are passionate about the vision. We will always provide clarity around what we do, why we do it, and how we do it. We do not just talk about our church; we talk about it in a way that makes the vision contagious.

  • Results- A winning team is comprised of people who hold one another accountable for the decisions made. We call our shots and relentlessly pursue those shots. We call a win a win and a miss a miss. We refuse to paint a bullseye around a stray bullet.
  • Love- A winning team is comprised of people who laugh loud, hard, and often. We do not just have fun as a team, we have fun with our families too. We are committed to knowing one another well so we can love one another better.
