We’re excited to share a rare and exciting opportunity for a dynamic and qualified leader to bring their unique gifts and experience to the Texas–Oklahoma District in order to further advance the good work that is happening in this healthy and diverse region of congregations and pastors.

Church planting has been a clear strength of this region and support for those efforts continues to be strong. In recent years, the district has seen a more diverse scope of churches emerge. There is an ongoing need to support diversity in pastors, leadership, and types of congregations. With 53 percent of Texas’ population and 26 percent of Oklahoma’s population representative of non-majority cultures, opportunities abound for the district to integrate and expand diversity, to promote partnerships, and to encourage participation in shared missional endeavors that help reach all people with the gospel. The incoming DS will be positioned to use his influence to inspire, motivate and support each local leader and congregation to be healthy and multiplying in its unique context.

The Texas–Oklahoma District is comprised of 79 churches that range from small to large, urban to rural, historic to newly established. The district is served by 10 full, part-time and stipend district staff members, and together, they produce an annual District Conference, facilitate church planting bootcamps, offer training on various topics, resource the needs of local church leaders, provide support and create opportunities for ministerial connections for pastors and their wives.

Passionate to see God’s Kingdom advance through various modes of multiplication, the right person for this position will express a clear love and respect for the autonomy of the local church. Experienced in leading a team, the DS will enjoy collaboration and building relationships with others. This individual will take the initiative to get to know the pastors and
churches, care about them, and draw people together to build meaningful and productive partnerships.
