  • Direct the Sunday "New Here" gatherings, effectively bridging newcomers into the life of the community
  • Serve as site champion for Tenth Local initiatives at MP including the "Seats to Streets" initiative, encouraging and mobilizing the congregation to live missionally in the neighbourhood
  • Create and lead opportunities for those exploring faith (i.e. Alpha, Tenth Spiritual Formation, etc.), ensuring clear discipleship pathways are established and followed

Tenth Online (20%)
  • Lead the "front porch" vision for Tenth Online in collaboration with the Creatives Team, ensuring a clear introduction and bridging avenues for those new to Tenth
  • Manage the Tenth Online portfolio under the direction of the Site Pastor, serving as the primary pastoral connection for online participants through weekly hosting, outros, and active engagement
  • Collaborate with Production and Creatives Teams to ensure consistency and quality, ensuring the in-person service experience is translated practically, accessibly, and meaningfully for those watching online
  • Design and execute avenues for bridging, creating virtual ministry opportunities that move people from digital viewing to in-person community
  Pastoral Care & Tenth Support (20%)
  • Serve as a member of the MP adult pastoral team by collaborating around pastoral care, discipleship, and helping individuals grow in their faith
  • Serve as the primary pastoral contact for congregants preparing for marriage
  • Serve as a member of the Tenth Benevolence Committee representing MP
  • Support and facilitate the church membership process for individuals formalizing their commitment to the Tenth community
  • Participate in MP team meetings, staff meetings, trainings, and retreats as required

WHAT YOU BRING:
  • Bachelor's degree required; M.Div. preferred
  • A Christ-centered leader with a passion for discipleship and community-building
  • A strong communicator who connects well with people who do not yet know Christ or have little experience with the church
  • Minimum 2 years of experience in pastoral ministry, ministry leadership and outreach
  • Experience in motivating and mobilizing individual adults and adult groups into service and leadership
  • Proven ability to translate vision into strategy with clear action points and administrative follow-through
  • Ability to assume responsibility and carry out duties with minimal supervision
  • Strong cultural intelligence and a collaborative team player who can navigate conflict within a diverse, multi-site church community
  • Comfort with digital engagement and the ability to adapt pastoral presence for online platforms; knowledge of production environments/elements is a strong asset
  • Licensed, accredited, and ordained (or eligible and willing to be licensed) with the Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA)
