The role and responsibilities of the Associate Pastor are defined in more detail below. 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. The church today is a non-denominational faith community that was formed by a merger of the NW Church of Christ and the Shoreline Christian Church in the early 2000’s. The successful candidate will demonstrate alignment with our doctrinal beliefs (see website for details).
The NW Church will offer a competitive salary that is appropriate for the qualifications the candidate brings to the position and for a church of our size in our location. In addition, the NW church provides a benefits package that includes medical and dental health insurance, vision care, holidays, and personal time off in keeping with the guidelines of the employee handbook, a 403(b) plan, office equipment, and electronic connectivity to support job performance.
At NW Church, we believe that finding the right pastor is Spirit-guided and a collaborative effort between the church leadership and the candidate. We look forward to welcoming an associate pastor who shares our vision and is excited to help lead this church.
