Associate Pastor

Started in 1902, we strategically relocated in 2016 to the heart of the marketplace in Lynnwood, WA, and built a community center where a church happens to meet. We named this facility The Community Life Center of Lynnwood. Our goal is to partner with great people and great organizations that help transform lives and communities by sharing the love of God with people and helping families in the area.

The role and responsibilities of the Associate Pastor are defined in the attached pdf. As a new member of the church office staff, the Associate Pastor will be expected to fit within the team norms as defined by the staff members.The NW Church has an enduring heritage that reaches back to the American Restoration Movement.
