Bridge Church

Operations Pastor

Bradenton,
Florida
The Pastor of Operations serves as a key leadership role reporting directly to the Lead Pastor. This individual is responsible for developing and overseeing systems and processes to drive professional and operational growth among the church staff. This person will also give direct support to the Director of Facilities. The role is pivotal in ensuring that both the human and physical resources of the church align with and support the church’s mission and vision.

Why We Love This Opportunity

What God is doing at The Bridge is truly remarkable. A local church committed to going all in for Jesus and making disciples in the community. I’m excited to help them find a new Creative Pastor to lead a talented team of artists.

A great match for this position would be:

  • Have a pastor’s heart with a coach’s mindset.
  • Bring a strategic mindset and operational acumen.
  • Demonstrate servant leadership with both people and property.
  • Be passionate about multiplying the impact of ministry through well-equipped staff and well-managed spaces.

About This Organization

The Bridge Church was founded over 50 years ago as “Palmo Sola Bay Baptist Church”. Around 2008 the church stepped away from the Baptist denomination to become an independent church known as “The Bridge”. The desire that drove this was to be a church that creates a space where anyone can walk in no matter their background and hear about the love of God. 

After years of ups and downs and almost handing the keys over to a larger church in the community the Bridge Church began a long journey of redefining vision, focus, and action. We believe we are in the final chapters of that journey as we head into a new one. 

Life at Bridge Church is diverse and seasonal. Because of our location we are blessed to welcome 200-300 snowbirds from November-April every year. They are consistent and highly engaged when they are in town. Throughout the remainder of the year we have a diverse church body from young adults, young families, all of the way to retirees. The beauty of this is that they all interact in many ways on a regular basis. The “life diversity” is not a division but a beauty strength. 

Every person in every season is grasping the value of creating an environment focused on loving God by loving people, largely because it’s what they have experienced and it is what has changed them.

Location

“Dive into Southwest Florida history, arts, and nature in Bradenton on Florida’s Gulf Coast, about 30 minutes south of St. Petersburg.”

Bradenton’s close proximity to Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key make it the perfect place to base a vacation to the Gulf islands while enjoying all the city has to offer. Check out Village of the Arts, a working artist community, and explore Downtown Bradenton with a stroll on the 1.5-mile, ADA-accessible Bradenton Riverwalk, taking in the views of the Manatee River.

Go to Old Main Street and shop at the Bradenton Market, which offers fresh produce, lively music, and free family activities, and the Manatee Village Historical Park, where visitors can see historic buildings from Manatee County’s founding period of 1840 to 1918.

Visitors looking for outdoor adventures can fish from the Riverwalk pier, get on the nature trails at Robinson Preserve, take a kayak tour at De Soto National Memorial Park, and visit the area’s beaches.”
