An hour west of Columbus, Restoration at Hillside is in the heart of Springfield, Ohio. This vibrant congregation is excited to welcome their next Lead Pastor to build upon the transformational work already happening within their community. Their next Lead Pastor will passionately link arms in their mission to “help their neighbors find and follow Jesus and make disciples who make disciples.”
Springfield is a small city with all the beauty and challenges a big city will offer. There is a distinct culture, efforts to renew and restore historical parts of the city, diversity of all kinds, and very real challenges related to an influx of migrants, poverty, and addiction. Restoration at Hillside has chosen to see the realities around their congregation and within their very neighborhood and respond. This body of believers is on mission to bring the gospel message and the tangible hands and feet of Jesus to Springfield.
The right Lead Pastor will come with energy and a heart to see people find and follow Jesus. With a noticeable passion for evangelism and equipping, this leader will continue the trajectory already established. A pastor willing and wanting to be with people, this person will develop trust because of their authenticity and humility. Developing leaders and discipling people in the way of Jesus will come naturally and this person will bring experience implementing and working within a discipleship model that yields disciples. The next Lead Pastor of Restoration will be a pastor for all the people, young and old, mature believers and baby Christians, newcomers, and staff, and a person willing to take the initiative to connect within the neighborhood and city of Springfield. They will recognize the complexities that come with a historic and multi-generational body and will find ways to use this for Kingdom advancement.
Springfield is an hour west of the capital city of Columbus, OH, and 20 miles east of Dayton. The city of Springfield has a population of 60,000, but this area is best represented by the “Greater Springfield” area which covers the majority of Clark County and has a population closer to 135,000. Intel has invested in a multi-billion-dollar facility, and tech companies are emerging all around this region to facilitate Intel’s plant. A concerted effort by community leaders is revitalizing the downtown area. New restaurants and walking paths are popping up.
