Why I Love This Opportunity
I’m thrilled to partner with LifeBridge again; the last time was for the NextGen Pastor, who will oversee this new Student Pastor– getting the opportunity to partner with a person you helped bring to a church is amazing. The church is growing each week, and LifeBridge is passionate about reaching Northern Colorado with the love and grace found in Jesus. A great team of encouragers will surround the new Student Pastor and work with a volunteer team that desires to be equipped!
About This Organization
What started as a small group that began meeting to study the Bible and pray for their friends eventually took action to become one of the first churches in Longmont on July 5, 1891. Having grown beyond the city block on Coffman Street, First Christian sought relocation and moved to its current location on Highway 66 in 1991.
In 1995, the church expanded its building due to exponential growth. During this time the church also began its transition from being primarily an ‘attractional’ church to an externally focused church. Then in 1999, First Christian Church changed its name to LifeBridge Christian Church.
Over the years, LifeBridge has always been about leading people in their next step toward Jesus. Beyond the weekend experience, people connect and grow through small groups, community serving opportunities, and serving in the many ministries within the church. You’ll find a welcoming place centered around helping people grow closer to Jesus’ love, hope, and grace.
They are praying for a Student Pastor, a driven and innovative leader ready to partner with staff in a healthy culture to re-imagine and rebuild the Student Ministries of LifeBridge.
