Community Engagement Pastor

Elim Church, Saskatoon, SK

Job Description

Purpose of Role: To develop and enhance the mission and ministry of Elim Church with the communities in our surrounding vicinity.

Recent History:Elim Church moved to this community in 2012. In that time, inroads have been made into the community and some good contacts have been established. There have been numerous “community” events that Elim has initiated and funded. There is a good foundation and this is beginning to bear fruit. A Community Engagement team has been created to help share the vision.

Vision:We sense that God has placed us in the midst of this growing and vibrant community so we can reach many for Christ. We desire to develop and expand the church’s ministry into the local community. Many of our neighbors have immigrated to Canada and have yet to be introduced to the gospel.

  • Develop and lead a First Impressions ministry which engages people warmly and meaningfully. This ministry will include greeters & ushers.
  • Oversee the integration of Newcomers and New Believers into our fellowship
  • Support and add value to existing ministries in their evangelism component.
  • Identify and equip leaders and volunteers for service opportunities outside the church context (local missions).
  • Build on our existing relationships with outside groups and find meaningful ways to engage people toward a relationship with Christ.
  • Be instrumental in having our community think of Elim Church as a loving, accessible church.
  • Develop a sustained prayer initiative for our community.
  • Leverage the community’s use of the church building to advance the mission of Elim
  • Play a key role in the global mission initiatives of Elim Church.

Qualities:The Pastor will be a person who:

  • Has the gift of evangelism
  • Has a high level of spiritual passion
  • Is able to think clearly and design a strategic plan with measureable results
  • Is able to engage and inspire a wide variety of people
  • Has good public communication skills
