Overview

Stonebridge Christian Church is a small evangelical, non-denominational church in Orange County in southern California.

We are looking for an associate pastor who is called and gifted to serve God by serving His local church.

 

The ideal associate pastor will be gifted in ministering and reaching out to young families, and will partner with the lead pastor in leading and teaching the congregation. Although we are not a church plant, we see the church planter mentality vital to the future of our church.
