Missions & Outreach Director

Director of Missions & Outreach

At Evangel Temple, we exist to help people Encounter Jesus, Build Disciples, Discover Purpose, and Make a Difference. The Director of Missions & Outreach exists to extend that mission beyond our walls — locally and globally — by mobilizing our church to send, host, serve, and shape a generation of Christ-followers who live with global awareness and missional courage.

This is a pastoral leadership role. The Director will steward Evangel's relationships with 170+ supported missionaries and ministries, lead our short-term missions program, oversee our local outreach efforts and Missions Café, and drive a culture of missions throughout the lifeflow of the church. They will also help us build a pipeline of future senders and goers raised up from within Evangel.

The Director will report to Mike Bajalia (Pastor of Ministry) and steward an annual missions and outreach budget of approximately $600,000.
