Senior Pastor

El Paso, Texas

Why I Love This Opportunity

Luke Francis

Associate

For the missionally-minded leader called to shepherd a church as it continues pursuing a deeper walk with Jesus this is a prime opportunity. Building on the ministry of Pastor Brent Moore, LIFEchurch has experienced a sustained season of strengthening its congregational health, evangelism practices, and leader development. The next pastor will find a unified board of directors and a church looking forward to where God is leading them together in the years ahead. In this next season the new Senior Pastor will have the freedom to develop the ministries across LIFEchurch and continue equipping the church to be salt and light across the city of El Paso.
