Next Gen Pastor - Legacy Church
Are you a visionary leader with deep passion and conviction to shepherd the next generation (babies through 12th) to know, love, and find their identity in Jesus Christ? We’re seeking an experienced individual who will use their creativity, grit, and enthusiasm to serve, engage, and develop Legacy Church members to boldly pursue our children’s hearts through ministry.
As the heartbeat of our NextGen programs, you’ll be the driving force behind recruiting, equipping, and unleashing leaders to invest in the lives of our kids and youth. Your role extends to modeling integrity, living out Biblical truth, and actively participating in the mission of Legacy Church while living within 5-10 miles of the community of Plano, Texas.
What We’re Looking For:
Our ideal candidate is a self-aware self-starter with a passion for administration and organization along with an innate knack for relational leadership. If you’re an influential communicator who can think on your feet, solve problems, and inspire action, you’re the one we’re looking for. Extensive collaboration with our dedicated coordinators, staff, and volunteer teams is crucial as we grow the NextGen programs that support our kids, youth, and families.
Success in this position requires the desire and demonstrated expertise to drive Legacy’s strategies forward, as well as a willingness and ability to jump seamlessly between “player” and “coach” roles. Skills in recruiting, equipping, and training leaders are essential. A good sense of humor is a definite plus.
Your Role:
As the NextGen Pastor, you’ll be responsible for championing every age group within Legacy Church, inspiring a collective commitment to invest in the next generation. While giving leadership to our overall philosophy of NextGen ministries, you will have a primary focus on children’s ministry, and give leadership support and collaborate with our Youth Pastor.
