Community Life Minister

Shepherd Staff is honored to be working with LifePoint Church in Ozark, Missouri as they search for a Community Life Minister. LifePoint Church is a growing, gospel-centered church committed to leading people to be real Christ-followers in life together—filled with the Spirit, living by the Word, rooted in the church, and going to the world for Christ.

The Community Life Minister will lead LifePoint’s adult discipleship, assimilation, and community engagement ministries. This role will help adults move from first visit to meaningful community, active participation, spiritual maturity, and mission engagement.

The ideal candidate will be:

A mature, relational shepherd with significant discipleship ministry experience.
A strong connector who naturally engages guests, members, and volunteers.
A capable trainer who can equip leaders without over-programming ministry.
A collaborative implementer who can strengthen systems during a season of growth.

POSITION OVERVIEW

The Community Life Minister will oversee Community Groups, Men’s and Women’s Ministries, adult classes, Explore LifePoint, Navigation, assimilation pathways, and community engagement.

In the first 12–18 months, success will include clarifying discipleship pathways, strengthening group life, developing volunteer leaders, improving follow-up for guests and new members, and helping adults take their next step with Christ. LifePoint is seeking a leader who values Scripture, prayer, genuine relationships, and simple, reproducible discipleship—not a heavily programmed ministry model.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Lead adult discipleship and community ministries in alignment with LifePoint’s mission and vision.
Oversee Community Groups, Men’s and Women’s Ministries, classes, Explore LifePoint, and Navigation.
Create clear next steps for guests, new believers, new members, and adults seeking deeper connection.
Recruit, train, encourage, and multiply volunteer leaders.
Collaborate with Elders, staff, and ministry leaders to maintain churchwide alignment.
Preach, teach, and provide pastoral care as needed.
Develop ministry budgets, plans, communication, and operational systems with wisdom and stewardship.
