Edgewood Community Church in Waupun, WI is seeking an experienced, gospel-oriented Executive Pastor to faithfully partner with the Senior Pastor to shepherd the growth of this multi-site church.
Located in small-town Wisconsin, the story of Edgewood Community Church is unique. It was planted in Waupun, a community of about 12,000 people, but over time, they have organically grown to become a church with four campuses and about 1,200 people. This Elder-led body embraces the call to reach people and to develop them in the faith. To this end, the values of Edgewood, “Gospel, Community, Mission,” shape and propel the ministry. The staff who help lead the ministry charge are a unified and healthy group of Christ-followers and demonstrate their love of Jesus and the church. The church is conservative and leans Reformed in theology but practices a graciousness toward people from various backgrounds. The energy is contagious, the commitment is high, and Edgewood is motivated to reach new heights for the gospel’s sake.
Affiliated with the EFCA, Edgewood Community Church is vibrant and family-oriented. The church averages 1,200 attenders over four campuses which are distributed over a large area of north central Wisconsin from Waupun to Fond du Lac to Sheboygan and to Beaver Dam.
The ideal candidate for this role demonstrates the rare quality of servant leadership. He is winsome and approachable with those he serves but also exhibits strength of leadership that inspires others to follow. He is a person of high character and willing to do the work of ministry in an active, dynamic, and schedule-packed environment. The new pastor will work closely with the Senior Pastor and support his work of preaching, visioning, and strategizing the trajectory of Edgewood. He is able to lead both the campus pastors and the remaining staff with wisdom and grace. He will bring a full range of useful skills for the effective execution of operational and ministry pursuits.
Edgewood Community Church is best described as rural to small town. It is a beautiful geographic region with lush countryside, beautiful trees, and bountiful lakes. The people are friendly, authentic, down-to-earth, and modest. The communities served by Edgewood are safe, offer access to modern conveniences, and provide good schools. In addition, because of the proximity to Milwaukee and Madison, major league baseball, excellent performing arts, and the activities and interests of a Big 10 campus are only a little over an hour away. The cost of living is affordable and is a wonderful place to raise a family.
