The role of Campus Pastor is fulfilled by one who has a deep love for the local church and a clear calling to lead the congregation of one of our regional campuses to accomplish the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. This posting is not for a specific, current opening, but instead is for applicants who want to be considered for future campuses and opportunities.

• Evaluate trends and build strategies to improve the health and growth of the campus. This includes reaching the unchurched/dechurched, salvations, baptisms, church membership, spiritual maturity, ministry involvement, mission involvement, small groups, discipleship classes, and all other key areas of church health.
• For the growth of the congregation, the Campus Pastor (CP) functions as the vision caster for the campus. Each Saddleback campus shares the same macro-vision, core ministry models, signature ministries, branding, doctrine, and video teaching; however, each campus has a responsibility to reach and have a vision for its community.

• Care for the congregation by providing counseling, prayer, hospital visits, serving communion, performing baptisms, weddings, and funerals, serving as Minister of the Day, and an all-around pastoral presence at weekend services and special events.
• Engage relationally by meeting new people, discovering their stories, making connections, and continually looking for ways to guide them into taking the next step in their spiritual journey.

• Build and develop an effective, impactful, and healthy staff team by leading the hiring processes, providing spiritual care, developing their skill sets, and empowering them for their work of ministry.
• Champion the development of every member to be used by God in ministry. The CP is the primary recruiter and ministry mobilizer. They are the door opener for ministry involvement.

• Innovator - An ability to contextualize ministry, provide solutions and creatively reach their community. An ability to try new ideas and not give up. Like a church planter, a CP is passionate about going into the unknown and building something out of nothing. Able to take risks and learn from failure.
