Associate Pastor, 2023–Present
As Associate Pastor, my duties are widely varied, some key responsibilities I have had are:
- I coordinated a facility change, including moving all of our offices, ministries, and equipment from our permanent location to our new set-up/tear-down location. This included large changes to our audio/video system and organization of all our volunteers & staff, and liaising with all key stakeholders. I continue to look after our facilities and calendar.
- A have the title of “Staff Pastor” which carries with it the spiritual care of our staff team, as well as many HR duties. Moreover, I work with our teams (including volunteer staff) to ensure they are equipped, encouraged, and even challenged to go above-and-beyond in fulfilling their responsibilities to the very best of their ability.
- I have oversight of all our internal and external communications, meaning I advise on what internal software we use to connect and communicate as a team. I also look at how we communicate externally, including web, social media, banners, flyers, and other outward-facing information.
- I am tasked with care of our “Refresh Groups” small groups ministry. My goal is >100% attendance. Currently we have more than 200 people in Refresh Groups, so just under 50% of the total number registered in our system.
