Lead Pastor - Christian Church Katy, TX, Preaching​/Senior

We're all about the change and transformation that only God can bring about in the lives of people. Our simple statement, "Show Up - Leave Different," is both a challenge and a promise—a low-pressure invitation and a spiritual dare all in one. "Show Up" can mean simply giving it a try and attending a service to see if you like it.

But it can also mean bringing your spiritual focus, passion, and intentionality with you—arriving ready to be changed by God.

When we show up and draw near to God, He has promised to draw near to us (James 4:8). When God draws near, He does so with the purpose of making us new, different, and changed. We're not about attending church to check off an item on a spiritual "to do" list or going through the motions. We serve the living God, and He invites us to show up.

Because of who He is and how He works in our lives, we can leave different.

• Organization Name Current - A Christian Church
• Organization Location Katy, TX, United States of America
• Average Weekly Church Attendance 900

This is a unique succession opportunity designed to ensure a healthy transition. The role begins as an overlap, working closely with our departing Lead Pastor and our Elder Team during a 3-6 month transition overlap. The transition between the departing Lead Pastor to the new Lead Pastor is a guided process based on collaborative, prayerful discernment by the Elder Team, rather than an automatic promotion.

Once the transition is complete, the current Lead Pastor will exit his former role, allowing you the freedom and clarity to lead with vision and confidence.

• During the Transition Phase:
  Build deep, authentic relationships with the staff, elders, and congregation. Preach and teach regularly on the main stage and in other venues. Learn the rhythms, systems, and leadership structures of Current. Engage deeply in the Greater Katy community.
• As Lead Pastor:
  Serve as the primary vision caster and spiritual leader of the church. Preach regularly (typically 40-45 times per year). Lead, shepherd, and develop the church staff in a collaborative culture. Work alongside the Elder Team in shepherding and governance. Champion a renewed, evangelistic focus on our local mission field.

We are seeking a biblically grounded, team-first leader who models the heart of a servant‑leader—one who is humble, highly relational, and emotionally intelligent.

• Theological Alignment:
  Rooted in the Restoration Movement and currently serving in a similar church context. You must align with our high view of Scripture (primarily expository preaching), complementarian theology, weekly communion, and believer's baptism.
• Experience:
  
  8+ years of full-time ministry experience, including preaching and staff leadership, with a long runway of ministry ahead of you.
• Character:
  Meets the biblical qualifications of an Elder outlined in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.
• Leadership: A proven track record of building healthy teams, collaborating with elders, and catalyzing evangelistic outreach.
• Education:
  
  Bible college and/or seminary education is required (Restoration Movement affiliation preferred).
