Gilbert is an exciting, high-capacity campus of Central Christian Church that welcomes 2,000+ people each weekend, has strong momentum and great potential. This role is about building people, equipping leaders, and shepherding a campus that is ready for focused, relational, team-of-teams leadership. If you are energized by leading through others, thriving in a collaborative culture, and helping a church move from crowd to community, this is a great opportunity.
Central Christian Church is a non-denominational, multisite church serving the greater Phoenix area. With five campuses across the Valley, Central is committed to one mission: to lead people to discover and fully own their faith in Jesus.
Central’s culture is not aspirational—it is conversational. “Jesus First, People Always, Made for More” shapes how we lead, communicate, and make decisions. Our staff culture reinforces that commitment: Same Team, Feedback Matters, Make It Better, Give It Away, and Healthy Hustle. Leaders are expected to embody these values, not just reference them.
The Gilbert Campus is a high-capacity broadcast campus welcoming over 2,000 people each weekend. This is not a small campus plant—it is an established, vibrant congregation in one of the fastest-growing communities in Arizona. The opportunity is significant: strong momentum, strong attendance, and strong potential for even deeper discipleship and community impact.
We are biblically conservative and culturally wise. We welcome people from every background and walk of life, and we lead them toward a growing, life-changing relationship with Jesus.
The Gilbert Campus Pastor serves as the primary shepherd and leader of our largest broadcast campus, welcoming more than 2,000 people each weekend. This leader is the face of the campus—hosting services, building teams, developing staff, and helping people take meaningful next steps in their faith.
This is not a “do all the ministry” role. It is an equipping role. The right leader will live out Ephesians 4:12 by building a team of staff, coaches, and volunteers who do the work of ministry together.
We are looking for someone who can lead with maturity and energy—comfortable being highly visible on weekends and deeply intentional in leadership and ministry during the week.
