The Lead Pastor opportunity at New Life CC is one of those dream scenarios where the staff is healthy, the congregation is passionate, the board is unified, and the current long-tenured lead pastor is going to be your biggest fan!
Our heart and passion is to…
“love people one step closer to Jesus.”
“We see a vast community of people… every age, every race … business owners and homeless … every spectrum of our city … smiling and laughing with true joy as they experience life as a family together. Extending love in real and practical ways. Living in truth, freedom, and grace, making Jesus known everywhere.”
On the weekends, our services combine the unchanging truth of Scripture with practical application for the challenges of life today. Our worship is vibrant and alive! Our people care deeply about our community and engage in ministry designed to connect the practical action of love with the life-changing hope of Jesus. The church and leadership are multi-generational and diverse. It is a beautiful tapestry of people, gifts, and talents.
New Life’s style is authentic and casual, and our desire is for people to experience God’s grace and love in every encounter. We want to guide every person to experience a growing friendship and relationship with God, as well as true connections and soul-friendships with those around them. We celebrate the blessing and joy of being a faith family together.
New Life’s top five strengths would be:
1. Real, authentic leadership, teaching, and ministry.
2. Extremely strong Children’s Ministry with over 400 kids in our Turlock ministry
3. Outreach-focused – we give over $250,000 to local and global missions annually. An active food bank and LoveTurlock service day also allow us to reach out in practical ways.
4. Celebrate Recovery – Weekly worship, teaching, support groups, as well as 12-step studies. Our CR Ministry also leads our weekend services once or twice a year.
5. Grace-filled communities in both Turlock and Patterson.
Our new Lead Pastor will be a person who loves God, is growing deeper in faith and humility, and has a passion and love for God’s people. He will be a gifted visionary, a strong communicator, and a team-oriented leader.
If this is the kind of leader God has shaped you to be… you already know the details and responsibilities needed. You will bring your very best while getting to serve alongside a team of people committed to the Gospel and to God’s church. If you enjoy the challenge and the freedom of a 2-sentence job description, then this might be the right place for you.
