Grace Church in Allen, TX is entering a new season of ministry as they anticipate the retirement of their beloved and gifted Lead Pastor. They are a church looking for an energetic and wise Lead Pastor who can help them live out their mission to equip Christ followers to be bold, share hope, and change lives.
Grace Church seeks a humble, yet confident leader who understands how to effectively guide the church to move toward a shared vision. The ideal candidate will lead out of deep fellowship with Jesus, reliance upon the Holy Spirit, and will be nurtured on the unfailing Word of God. With a deep love of the Scriptures, the new Lead Pastor prefers an expository style of preaching where the beauty of the text comes alive in each message. The ideal candidate will be a loving, relational leader who desires to connect at a heart level with the congregation. The new pastor will model consistency of character that has been shaped by the biblical mandates for Gospel-centered living. He will demonstrate the value of teamwork by working shoulder-to-shoulder with the elders, staff, and congregational leaders.
Ministry to the community is important to the church, and they seek leadership to maximize these opportunities. Weekend gatherings are contemporary in style with expository preaching being the preferred method of teaching. They offer a robust children’s ministry in an exciting space designed just for kids. The youth ministry is one of the largest and most effective ministries of the church averaging over 100 students per week. The location, facilities, and leadership make this an opportunity ripe with potential for the new pastor.
