An executive pastor is a pastor who is paid a salary by the administrative/institutional leadership of a church.
While some denominations allow paid pastoral positions, others do not.
Executive pastors are often paid on a part-time basis, so they usually serve alongside a salaried lead pastor, but typically have a higher profile than many of the elders/deacons/lay leaders.

The Executive Pastor will work closely with the Senior Pastor to develop and implement our vision and strategy. The successful candidate will have a passion for ministry and a track record of leading teams to achieve results. If you are a dynamic leader with a heart for ministry, we want to hear from you!
