Great Lakes Church is in a season of significant opportunity at every ministry level. The Lead Pastor will inherit a growing church, a dedicated staff team, and the resources to take ground for Jesus!
In the fall of 2008, a group of people met in a living room with some friends and family to discuss the idea of starting a church in Kenosha, WI. It wasn’t because the area lacked churches but because nearly 70% of people were not currently connected to a church family. The Kenosha area needed a different kind of church that would be laser-focused on removing the barriers that sometimes deter those far from God.
In February of 2009, Great Lakes Church was officially launched. They created a website, started a Facebook page, found a place to meet on Sundays, and just went for it. They weren’t always sure what they were doing (and sometimes still aren’t), but they knew that God had placed this dream inside of them.
Over the years, the GLC has become clear: to saturate their homes, neighborhoods, and communities with the good news of Jesus!
Today, Great Lakes Church owns more than 20 acres in Kenosha and plans to build a permanent facility in the next few years. There are 2,500 people who call Great Lakes their church home, with over 1,200 attending each weekend – and they are only just beginning!
The Lead Pastor provides vision, direction, and leadership to Great Lakes Church at every level. The Lead Pastor will be the primary preaching voice of the church, leading and loving people toward all God has for them.
