Outer West Community Church is a uniquely positioned church in San Antonio. It has a larger facility and congregation than expected for its age, while maintaining a startup culture that is evolving into a more established phase. This creates an exciting opportunity for the right leader. Beyond its organizational growth, the church fosters a distinctive culture—prioritizing unity on core Christian tenets while embracing diversity in secondary matters, allowing for a dynamic and diverse community. It’s a great opportunity for the next Executive Pastor to partner with a Lead Pastor who embodies a non-anxious presence in a dynamic and growing community.
Outer West Community Church is known for its diverse, multi-cultural and multi-generational community, as well as its warm and welcoming atmosphere. We strive to serve our community, with a heart for local and global missions focused on meeting the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of those outside the four walls of our church. OWCC is a young church but has established a unique presence in San Antonio since launching in 2022, and is in many ways coming into our own in terms of leadership structure, philosophy, governance, and culture, while averaging about 1100 in attendance in 2025.
The Executive Pastor (XP) will serve as a key partner in fulfilling the mission of Outer West Community Church (OWCC) through the vision of the Lead Pastor. The XP provides strategic leadership and operational oversight, ensuring the church’s culture, systems, and practices align with its mission, vision, and values. The XP implements long-range ministry plans, manages day-to-day operations, and oversees key ministry and support staff to ensure operational readiness and foster a collaborative, healthy staff culture. An effective XP is proactive, forward thinking, and able to devise growth strategies that leverage and develop existing resources to help prepare OWCC for future growth.
