Assistant Pastor
​Vision Church

Return to Ministry Opportunities in New York
​Full-time
 
Church Description


Vision Church is a non-denominational, Asian-American Christian church in New York City planted in 1997 by Oversea Chinese Mission Church. Approximately a hundred individuals gather for worship each Sunday and a large number of these congregants are involved in small groups (called growth groups). Our congregation is comprised of young and middle-aged professionals, couples, and young children.
 
Our 3-5 Year Vision:
  • Pursue our relationship with God both personally and collectively by making Bible reflection and corporate prayer integral aspects of our church life.
  • Serve our Vision community by exercising our primary giftings and strengths and discipling specific individuals that God has put on our hearts.
  • Cultivate a missional outlook by looking for opportunities to share and reflect Jesus and by being intentionally missional with specific individuals outside of the church.​

​Ministry Position Description
 

Vision Church is looking for a full-time assistant pastor to join our leadership team. In this position, the selected candidate will provide leadership and oversight to several ministries with a focus on discipleship. This staff member will report to the Senior Pastor.

  • Train leaders across multiple ministries for greater effectiveness.
  • Provide spiritual care to members.
  • Work with Senior Pastor and elders to provide spiritual oversight and direction for the church.
  • Collaborate with Senior Pastor in developing and teaching Christian Education classes.
