Job Description
Location Pastor
Fulshear, TX (Portable Campus)
Summary of Position The Location Pastor leads a Newlands Church portable campus — owning both the pastoral care of the congregation and the operational execution of a weekly portable worship experience. Every Sunday, this person turns a rented space into a church, leads a volunteer team through setup and teardown, and ensures people encounter God in a building that isn't theirs.
Modeling Biblical Priorities Responsible for upholding Biblical priorities and core values of Newlands Church. The team member should represent a growing personal relationship with Christ.
These objectives are accomplished by:
- Committing to a daily quiet-time with God.
- Participating in and/or leading a Newlands Church group on a regular basis.
- Setting appropriate boundaries to protect character and integrity.
- Developing personal evangelism opportunities within and outside the church.
- Supporting the ministries of Newlands Church by faithfully tithing.
- Adhering to and encompassing the Core Vision and Values of Newlands Church employees
Principal Responsibilities Sunday Execution & Portable Operations The LP owns Sunday mornings from beginning to end — making real-time decisions, managing the full timeline from volunteer call-time through teardown, maintaining venue relationships, and preaching when called upon.
Strategic Leadership & Campus Growth Champions the Newlands vision at the campus level by leading an intentional meeting rhythm, monitoring campus health, surfacing growth barriers with solutions, and managing the campus budget.
Volunteer Leadership & Accountability Relentlessly recruits, trains, and retains a volunteer base large enough to sustain weekly operations. Sets clear expectations, coaches leaders toward ownership, and builds a deep enough pipeline that no single absence cripples a Sunday.
Congregational Shepherding & Pastoral Care In a portable environment, the pastor creates the sense of home the building can't. This requires knowing people by name, showing up in critical moments, and providing pastoral counseling with appropriate boundaries and timely referral.
Groups & Local Outreach Champions the Newlands groups model, recruits and develops group leaders, and partners with the Central Global Pastor to establish and execute local outreach — including logistics unique to portable campuses.
