Lead Pastor

Open position: Lead Pastor

We desire a shepherd who is present, a teacher who makes Scripture tangible, and a leader who asks 'Where is God leading us?' before saying 'Follow me.'

Deep but not academic, vulnerable but not weak, culturally aware but not political — we want a pastor who helps navigate an increasingly polarized world through a Biblical lens, a shepherd who can galvanize people around a shared direction.

Teaching and preaching

The Lead Pastor serves as our lead teaching pastor, making Scripture tangible for the life of the church. The Lead Pastor should mentor other leaders gifted to teach and actively work with the teaching team.

Shepherding

We are looking for a pastor who shares life with people in all seasons, builds trust, and offers steadfast support.

Qualifications

The Lead Pastor should be an effective communicator in preaching, teaching, and pastoral leadership.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation will reflect the responsibilities of the role and the cost of living in Northern Virginia, including housing considerations.
