Grace Reno is looking for a new Creative Arts Pastor to lead their staff and volunteers. This person will bring years of experience into a position that will oversee worship, production and media.

The next leader will thrive if they embrace a relational, approachable style that resonates with both believers and non-believers alike. It’s essential for this leader to avoid a “churchy” approach, focusing instead on building genuine relationships with people where they are, without judgment. They should be able to engage with the unchurched community in a way that feels authentic and non-threatening, offering a space where individuals can explore faith without pressure.

The leader should be passionate about meeting people in their everyday lives, addressing real-world struggles, and fostering a culture of openness. Additionally, a long-term fit would depend on their commitment to the mission of Grace Church and a desire to be part of a team that values collaboration, creativity, and continuous growth. Being adaptable and able to connect with diverse groups will help the leader not only fit well but also stay for the long haul, building lasting impact in the community.
