Lead Pastor

This is a unique succession opportunity designed to ensure a healthy transition. The role begins as an overlap, working closely with our departing Lead Pastor and our Elder Team during a 3–6 month transition overlap. The transition between the departing Lead Pastor to the new Lead Pastor is a guided process based on collaborative, prayerful discernment by the Elder Team, rather than an automatic promotion. Once the transition is complete, the current Lead Pastor will exit his former role, allowing you the freedom and clarity to lead with vision and confidence.

Key Responsibilities

• During the Transition Phase: Build deep, authentic relationships with the staff, elders, and congregation. Preach and teach regularly on the main stage and in other venues. Learn the rhythms, systems, and leadership structures of Current. Engage deeply in the Greater Katy community.
• As Lead Pastor: Serve as the primary vision caster and spiritual leader of the church. Preach regularly (typically 40–45 times per year). Lead, shepherd, and develop the church staff in a collaborative culture. Work alongside the Elder Team in shepherding and governance. Champion a renewed, evangelistic focus on our local mission field.

Who We're Looking For

We are seeking a biblically grounded, team-first leader who models the heart of a servant-leader—one who is humble, highly relational, and emotionally intelligent.

• Theological Alignment: Rooted in the Restoration Movement and currently serving in a similar church context. You must align with our high view of Scripture (primarily expository preaching), complementarian theology, weekly communion, and believer's baptism.
• Experience: 8+ years of full-time ministry experience, including preaching and staff leadership, with a long runway of ministry ahead of you.
• Character: Meets the biblical qualifications of an Elder outlined in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.
• Leadership: A proven track record of building healthy teams, collaborating with elders, and catalyzing evangelistic outreach.
• Education: Bible college and/or seminary education is required (Restoration Movement affiliation preferred).
