Senior Director of Missionary Discipleship

Senior Director of Missionary Discipleship
Our Lady of the Falls Catholic Community
810 Pearl Street, Chippewa Falls, WI 54729

"To abide together with Jesus and invite others into His family."

Reports To: Pastor
Status: Full-time, salaried

Salary: $72,000
Schedule: Variable hours, including evenings and weekends
Location: Our Lady of the Falls Central Office, 810 Pearl Street, Chippewa Falls, and all five parish campuses

Five parishes in Chippewa Falls are walking forward together as Our Lady of the Falls Catholic Community:
St. Charles Borromeo, St. Peter, Notre Dame, Holy Ghost, and St. Bridget. Each keeps its own identity and history. All five share one mission.

We're looking for a leader who has been discipled, who disciples others, and who wants to build something that lasts. This is a rare chance to shape how a whole community of parishes forms missionary disciples. That includes faith formation, youth ministry, family life, healing ministry, outreach, and service to the poor. If you've ever thought, "Our parish could do so much more if the ministries worked together," this role was written for you.

The Senior Director of Missionary Discipleship leads the planning and oversight of our parish ministries, both those that serve our own people and those that reach beyond our doors. The work is grounded in three essential habits:
Divine Intimacy, Virtuous Friendship, and the Little Way of Evangelization.

You'll work closely with the Pastor to carry his vision for missionary discipleship into every ministry. You'll lead by personal accompaniment. That means walking with and supporting the leaders of Faith Formation, Youth Ministry, Outreach and Evangelization, Healing Ministry, Discipleship, Family Life, and Social Justice.

The goal is simple to say and hard to do: move our parishes from maintenance to mission at every key moment of discipleship. You'll do it by building mentorship teams that care for the whole person at every stage of life.
