About Life Community Church
At Life Community Church, we believe Jesus is powerfully at work—changing hearts, restoring lives, and advancing His kingdom. Over the past five years, God has grown our church family to over 400 people, and our youth ministry is now thriving with more than 90 students. Under Christ’s leadership, we are becoming a unified, gospel-centered community where elders, staff, and members share a common purpose: to love like Jesus and live on mission together.
The leadership is deeply committed to cultivating this kind of culture—one shaped by grace, truth, and Spirit-empowered courage. Inspired by Jesus’ prayer in John 17, we aim to be known by our love for one another, forming authentic relationships that reflect the unity and joy of the gospel. Our mission is simple and compelling: to help people experience new life in Christ by KNOWING God, GROWING in relationship with Him and others, and GOING to make disciples.
We are intentional about reaching our oikos
—the 8 to 15 people God has placed in our everyday lives—believing that through ordinary relationships, God is telling an extraordinary story of redemption. At Life Community Church, we’re not just growing a church—we’re following Jesus together into a life of purpose, transformation, and multiplying impact.
We’re seeking a passionate, Spirit-filled disciple to serve as our Student Ministries Pastor, leading 6th‑12th grade students to know God, grow in relationship, and go make disciples. With a heart for gospel-centered transformation, you’ll shepherd students, families, and volunteers to make Jesus famous by fostering personal relationships with Christ through salvation, baptism, and wholehearted service. You’ll champion Life Community Church’s mission and values, partnering with parents to create a vibrant, Christ-centered youth culture that’s both fun and deeply intentional.
