About this job
Working at Chroma would be an exciting and rewarding experience and opportunity to grow as a leader and a minister. The leaders of Chroma work together as a close-knit team that feels more like family than an office. As a young church less than three years old, we are in an exciting phase of continual growth and development; every month presents new challenges and opportunities, and we have the freedom to try new things, learn from our mistakes, and celebrate our successes together.
We believe the addition of a new pastor would boost the strength of our church and propel us toward a stage of expansive growth and effective outreach to our community.
