Job Description:
One Church is a contemporary, dynamic and growing church in Murfreesboro, TN. Our goal is to create an environment where Jesus Christ is worshipped and an abundant harvest of leaders are developed who will develop more and more leaders for the sake of the gospel.
ABOUT OUR CITY
Murfreesboro is just 30 miles SE of Nashville and home to Middle Tennessee State University, the largest undergraduate university in the state. With over 25,000 students at MTSU, and with 15,000+ public and private school students within 4 miles of our church, our church is primed for growth for years to come. We view the local schools and the MTSU campus as a prime venue for reaching the lost and developing dozens of future worship leaders to serve around our state and the world.
The Boro is also one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. Ranked by Money magazine as one of the top 20 “Best places to live in the US”, our city has grown from just under 60,000 residents to over 150,000 residents in the last twenty years. Over that same time period, more than a thousand housing units have been built within four miles of our church and Murfreesboro is expected to continue that type of growth over the next decade. By 2030, Murfreesboro is projected to grow past Knoxville and Chattanooga as the 3rd largest city in TN.
There are 4 high schools and 5 middle schools with a combined 6th-12th grade population of 8000 within 2.5 miles of our campus. We have several students from these schools in our ministry and the potential to reach many, many more.
ABOUT OUR ONE CHURCH FAMILY
One Church (OC) was planted as Calvary Baptist Church just 24 years ago and now rests on 20+ acres of property in the center of the growth of Murfreesboro. Since calling our senior pastor in 2020, we have experienced significant growth in both attendance and giving. According to Thom Rainer’s national research, OC is one of the <2% of US churches who have grown substantially after the pandemic. In fact, in less than four years we have more than quadrupled in attendance (from approximately 260 to over 1100 on Sunday mornings) and are one of the fastest growing congregations in the state of Tennessee.
Our growth has also necessitated several building and parking upgrades/expansions at our Calvary Campus. Part of that expansion is a student center that opened last fall and can host over 150 students for our weekly meetings. This student pastor position will be serving at the ONE CHURCH – CALVARY campus (average attendance ~1000 people) on the north side of town.
In spite of the increase in attendance, we are INTENTIONAL about “keeping it small” when it comes to discipleship. We have more than 25 young adult and parent volunteers (FRONTLINE) that make interpersonal relationships a priority. This multi-generational emphasis is reflective of our overall philosophy of keeping a family feel, with no desire to become a “mega” church of over 2000 people at a singular campus. As such, we have already hired a campus planter who is equipping a team from our current campus to launch a new ONE CHURCH – Barfield congregation on the opposite side of town. Lord willing, we will plant several other congregations in the years to come. Each congregation will remain a part of the ONE CHURCH network under the leadership of our senior pastor, but each also having a local LEAD/TEACHING PASTOR at each campus.
After the Minister of Students & Families has established the foundation of his own ministry at our original ONE CHURCH – CALVARY campus, he will also work to assist equipping those who can minister at future campuses.
ABOUT THE MINISTRY POSITION
The MS&F is responsible for working with OC staff to design and facilitate a student and family ministry that is part of OC’s overall mission to reach the world for Jesus Christ. The incumbent must embrace OC’s leadership development culture, mission, and vision at all times. At OC, we don’t just hire people who do ministry, we hire people who develop ministers. At OC, our biggest win is when we are seeing the people we have trained become excellent at what God has gifted them to do AND then watching them train someone else to do the same!!! The incumbent will work to recruit and develop leaders and creative teams to ensure our people are making disciples who make disciples.
To this end the MS&F Will:
SALARY & BENEFITS
Salary is $60,000-$75,000 depending on education and experience. Health insurance stipend available (we currently have a group plan with BlueCross). After one year of employment, a retirement plan is offered. 3 weeks paid vacation PLUS the week AFTER Christmas.
A seminary degree and experience leading a student ministry of at least 50 students is a major plus but not required. As with every other full-time position in the church, about 80% of what you do is focused on your particular area of ministry, but 20% will be focused on overall church health. Our motto is #Onechurchfamily and that influences everything we do.
