Eastpoint Church

Executive Pastor of Ministries

Easton, Maryland

Why I Love This Opportunity

Chris Lagerlof

Senior Associate

Eastpoint is a growing, thriving, healthy church led by a relational, gifted Lead Pastor . It has unified, passionate staff and elder teams and is committed to “glorify God as a Gospel Community that is Growing in Faith and Reaching the World.” This is a great opportunity for a ministry-minded Executive Pastor who loves being a part of healthy, relational and growing church.

About This Organization

Eastpoint church started in 2016 as a campus of Bay Area Community Church in Annapolis, MD.

In 2021, we hired our first Lead Pastor, Sam Cassese, and fulfilled the original vision of launching an autonomous church on the Shore that can multiply other Gospel-centered campuses and plants.

The Eastern Shore is strategically placed and ripe with opportunity. Our relational congregation, conversational expository preaching, priority on group life, and commitment to excellence are providing a refreshing approach to ministry in a community steeped in tradition and surrounded by history.

Over the last three years, we have experienced exponential growth, increasing our Sunday gathering attendance from 200 to over 650. We’ve seen over one hundred people baptized and discipled in a life-giving community. We celebrate regularly through our “Grow Videos,” stories of people’s spiritual journeys, reminding ourselves that the most significant growth happening in our congregation isn’t numeric – it’s genuine spiritual transformation.

We have a tremendously engaged congregation, with over 50% of our adult congregation serving and dozens of volunteers leading groups and ministry teams. Eastpoint has a unique level of partnership with our local YMCA, where we meet in their gymnasium for two gatherings. We also rent office space in a
local business park. Our lack of a building has created a “church without walls,” culture, fueling our congregation’s commitment to not simply “go to church” but to mobilize in our community “as the church.”

Position Description

The Executive Pastor of Ministries (XPM) ensures the mission, vision and culture of Eastpoint Church are implemented through the various ministries. By overseeing ministry staff and guiding the strategic implementation of the vision, the XPM enables the Lead Pastor to focus on preaching, clarifying culture and providing big picture vision.

 

Key Responsibilities:

Staff Development:

  • The XPM leads ministry staff to align their time, ministries and goals with the vision, values and current priorities of the team. He keeps them moving on their professional goals and rock docs. He holds them accountable to staff culture and expectations and is available to help problem-solve and troubleshoot.

Lead Team:

  • By meeting weekly as a pastor on the Lead Team, you will engage in cross-lane collaboration, ensuring our increasingly complex org chart doesn’t result in silos. Together we will discuss big picture strategy and vision, assess progress on our Thematic Goal, prayerfully set direction for the staff and evaluate organizational strengths and weaknesses.

Lane Development:

  • Our three ministry lanes are the Gathering Lane, Discipleship Lane and Multiplication Lane. The Gathering Lane ensures people are connecting into the life of the congregation and gathering regularly as a family of faith. The Discipleship Lane includes our strategies and initiatives that ensure that discipleship is a culture, not just a program. Our Multiply Lane catalyzes our gospel influence locally, regionally and globally.

 

What a Strong Candidate Would Look Like:

  • Enjoys working on a team, collaborating, and adding value to others.
  • Naturally equips others and sets ministry in motion preferring to be an initiator rather than an implementor (thinks like a leader of leaders).
  • Willingly engages in ideological conflict in order to make great decisions.
  • Serves with joy, consistently remembering the privilege it is to equip the body for ministry.
  • Communicates well and follows through on responsibilities.
  • Enjoys overcoming challenges and finding creative solutions.
  • Thinks “why” before “what,” sharing our obsession with intentionality.
  • Consistently learns and grows, in their walk with Jesus and in their vocation as a ministry leader.
  • Is committed to relational disciple making.
  • Enjoys an extremely relational ministry culture.
