Job Description:

Shalom Life Church began nearly 50 years ago.  Over the last 3 years, we've undergone an intense process of revitalization. In December of 2021, just shy of 70 people were gathering regularly and today that number is well over 200 with guests visiting every week.  This place is growing, engaging the community in new and fresh ways, and there is tremendous excitement for the future. The leadership culture is healthy and now we're now building a team to bring Shalom into the future - a really bright and hope-filled future.

Do you like to have fun?  Like to laugh?  Don't take yourself too seriously?  How about your love for people? Are you collaborative and enjoy empowering others?  You'll join a growing team that really loves God and cares about each other. We are a church that loves generously, that believes that a life-giving encounter with Jesus, the movement of the Holy Spirit, and community with others is essential to living a full life.  We also know that no one is perfect - in our church this is reflected from the top down.  We're all humbly seeking God, growing together, and extending a tremendous amount of grace in the process. We value emotional health and a healthy church culture that begins with our staff and leadership teams. Right now, we very much feel like a new church - a church plant with a building, people, and resources.  Everything is new and being rebuilt from the ground up.  

We're looking for someone who works hard. Church planting staffers know that it's hard work but you work hard, you play hard, and you bond as a team working toward accomplishing our mission - ours is simple - we're all about helping people love God, love others, and serve the world. We're looking for someone who will bring focus and leadership to their area of ministry.  Ideally, we'd  love someone who could give direct leadership to Student Ministries and Modern Worship but will collaborate with a great lead team in setting direction and pace alongside the lead pastor.  We're also looking for someone who's willing to help out where they're needed.  If you've ever used these words: "That's not my job," please move on, we wish you well.  Here's something we value: What if at the end of every year you weren't evaluated solely on performance or outcomes?  What if you were evaluated on who you developed, who you empowered? And what if our investment in you was less about what you're doing than it is about who you're becoming?  

If that resonates with you, reach out.  We'd love to talk with you.  We're not in a rush so we're going to take the time we need to get this right.  It's unfair to us AND to you, the potential candidate, to settle for anything less.  

Thanks for taking the time to read!  If you have a heart and passion for Jesus expressed in your love for students, value excellence and authenticity in music for worship, and love to laugh and have fun, we'd love to explore what God is doing in your life and if God might be calling you here.

Blessings.

 

About Shalom Life Church

Shalom Life church is located in beautiful Pinckney, Michigan - an area surrounded by beautiful lakes, land, and recreational opportunities.  About 18 months ago, we fully engaged in a redevelopment process and the last several weeks have seen continued growth picking up in key areas.  You might even say Shalom is a 44 year old church that feels much more like a church plant right now - there's tons of excitement, lots of new people, and the possibilities are endless.  Shalom's mission is simple: Love God, Love Others, and Serve the World. The Apostle's Creed is our core. statement of faith and we're fully committed to reaching this region with the life changing message of Jesus Christ while making it as easy as possible for people to check out church/faith for the first time or to come back into a faith community after being away.   We love to have fun, we love doing life and living in community together, and our facility is both beautiful and ideally located to see great things happen.  Our new pastor has lead multi-site, growing churches of 500-1200 and is committed to seeing Shalom become all that God would have it to be! Looking for a high energy environment with opportunities to really grow?  Are you a self-starter?  Do you have a passion to see people encounter God?  Humble, Hungry to Learn, and Smart with people - those are the big three with us.  Sound like you?  We'd love to have you consider serving alongside a great team at Shalom!
