Pastor of Congregation Care

Our Congregant Care Pastor (CCP) leads a team with the goal of getting congregants growing by taking their next step to connect with God, community, and their purpose. The Congregant Care area includes four areas: visitor next steps, newcomer class, volunteer engagement, and pastoral care. 

Through collaborative leadership, the CCP will develop the vision, strategies, and systems to ensure congregants are responded to, personally connected with, and helped along their journey of connection and discipleship across our six campuses.
