Other

We are looking for an individual who is committed to discipleship to Jesus in all aspects of their life, with a passion for Jesus that motivates their attitude towards their work, a strong desire to share the gospel with those outside of the church, and who is able to pioneer family-focused ministries from scratch. Our hope is that they pursue spiritual and emotional growth, in the power of the Holy Spirit in their life and also have a desire to see that same growth and transformation in the Church. Finally, they will be a team player who is motivated by the prospect of joining a church plant in its infancy and willing to pitch in to develop the culture and life of the wider church. We are looking for someone who makes room for the gifts and talents of others but who is also confident in bringing their God-given contributions to the life of Well City Church and the building of God's Kingdom.
