The Church
The Aaron Hur Group has partnered with Lifecoast Church in the search for their new Executive Pastor. Lifecoast Church is a dynamic nondenominational church located in the beautiful coastal town of Palm Coast, FL. Our mission is to love people into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ by engaging and caring for our community. We desire to Gather as an authentic family, Grow in our faith in and likeness of Jesus Christ, and Go into our neighborhoods with the goodness and love of God that transforms lives. That's what motivates everything we do.
After an unexplained fire burned their family business in Boston to the ground, Pastor Mike and Holly Wehde felt God’s call to plant a church with their five kids along the way. They didn’t know where and they didn’t know how, but they knew that God was calling them to begin a journey that would show Jesus’ goodness and power to the world. They set off with their good friends Pastor Jeff and Stacy (and their five kids too!). And in 2006, Lifecoast had its very first Celebration Service. Since that very first service, God has been growing Lifecoast into an incredible family that has experienced His goodness in so many ways.
One word that has defined who we truly are is “family.” We know that a church becomes all it was intended to be when it becomes a family who loves people. We know life doesn’t happen on just one day of the week, so we seek to walk deeper with each other throughout the week, developing deeper friendships, experiencing the highs and lows together, carrying each other’s burdens, and celebrating life’s victories. You’ll “experience” the family feel at Lifecoast by the way we include children in our services, the way we connect after services and events, and the way we create room for genuine connections throughout the week.
We are excited about the future! We have purchased land in the Town Center, the center of exciting activities, and we hope to build our new home soon. God continues to bring new people to the church every weekend and we are excited to see our church impact the surrounding community as we move out to make a Kingdom impact.

The Executive Pastor Position Overview
The following describes many of the characteristics of the ideal candidate for the Executive Pastor:
We are looking for a person to come alongside our Lead Pastor who has the ability to take the vision of Lifecoast Church and break it down into the details and actionable steps so that we can continue to run towards the mission that God has given to us during this next season of growth.
The Key Words for this position are “implementer” and “builder.” We are looking for a person who can build a church, a team, and a plan to step into all that God has in store for our church. A successful candidate has an eye for the execution, and can understand the big picture, but whose heart is in the details of how to get the job done. The Executive Pastor will accomplish the expectations of this role by developing robust systems of relational & spiritual trust amongst all staff, financial health for the entirety of the church, project management for large and small projects, inspiring leadership skills to help people get involved, and continued innovation of already established systems to ensure the church is vibrant, growing, and healthy.
The Executive Pastor will have a growth mindset, know how to establish systems and processes that work, and is a proven leader that can take the church to the next level of ministry and growth. This person must also be energetic and fun, two vital elements of our leadership values at Lifecoast.
