Associate Operations Pastor

The Associate Operations Pastor is primarily responsible for coordinating campus operations, providing support to staff and attenders, and leading volunteer teams.

At Life.Church, we exist to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. It’s been our mission since 1996 and has guided us every day. Leading people isn’t just an expectation; it’s a necessity.  It’s a cornerstone of our culture. That's why we’re always seeking leaders—leaders like you—to bring your skills to life. We are one church meeting in multiple locations, and we want to help you become the person God made you to be. 

On the Operations Team, we believe every detail matters because every person matters! We help people identify the next step God has in store for them by managing the church's day-to-day operations, events, and details to celebrate with people as they grow in their faith. 

The Associate Operations Pastor is primarily responsible for coordinating all campus operations at a physical location, providing support to staff and attenders, and leading volunteer teams to execute initiatives at their location.

Additionally, this role leads the Operations volunteer team. The Associate Operations Pastor is also responsible for leading events and special projects assigned to their campus. The Associate Campus Pastor receives personal instruction, opportunities for observation, and hands-on experience from a mentor Operations Pastor. 

At Life.Church, we are passionate about reaching more people in more communities. We hire new team members to begin their journey at an existing Life.Church location so they can learn the culture and systems of our church from experienced pastors already on the team. Our hope is, as we continue to launch new locations, we can send pastors who are ready to lead on day one because of what they’ve learned at an existing location in preparation.

While we unite around our mission, we know unity doesn’t mean uniformity. Our calling is too great, and our mission is too important not to be intentional about strengthening our team through diversity. We know that diverse perspectives in race, ethnicity, background, age, and gender are essential to reaching the world for Christ.
