I love this opportunity because Seacoast Community Church is looking for someone to lead at a high level at a great church committed to helping people to stay deeply connected in relationships and life! Seacoast Community Church is committed to continuing to grow as a family while maintaining a culture of intimacy and connectivity. They’re looking for a relational leader with a passion for helping people discover life in Christ and learn to follow Him. If you love leading, developing leaders, and teaching, this opportunity in beautiful Encinitas might be the right fit for you.

About This Organization

For close to 60 years, Seacoast Community Church has served and ministered in North San Diego County, which is known for its beautiful beaches and laid-back beach and surf culture. They’re a multi-generational church that mirrors the general population of Encinitas. Though a few socio-economic classes make up Encinitas, the immediate area is affluent and well-educated.

The staff culture at Seacoast Community Church is a fun environment where people don’t take themselves too seriously but take God very seriously. Work is accomplished with a focus on grace and excellence. The staff is given much freedom and flexibility as long as they are faithful, productive, collaborative, and pursue excellence in all they do.

Seacoast Community Church is a member of the Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA). Their mission is to help people discover life in Christ and learn to follow Him. They have a dream of being a church community that is home to those lost and wandering in their faith, a family of disciples being transformed by the good news of Jesus, and a movement of people blessing the neighborhoods in which they live, work, and play.
