Bi-Vocational Lead Pastor

Lead Pastor (Bi-Vocational, Growing Toward Full-Time)

About Us: Grace Mountain Church is a mission-minded church in Colorado Springs with a heart for reaching the city and beyond. We are a gospel-centered community passionate about seeing lives changed through Jesus. We don’t aim to do “church as usual”—we’re building something intentional, diverse, and future-focused.

The Role: We’re looking for a bi-vocational Lead Pastor with the capacity and vision to transition into a full-time role as the church continues to grow. This isn’t a maintenance role—it’s a builder’s role. You’ll lead with purpose, rally people around vision, and move the mission forward with grit, grace, and strategy. You’ll be the kind of leader who doesn’t just preach, we need an implementer, a planner, and a motivator. Someone who can inspire action, shape culture, and solve problems in a dynamic, multicultural community.

Key Responsibilities: • Cast and implement clear, gospel-centered vision and strategy. • Preach regularly with clarity, relevance, and conviction. • Empower teams and volunteers through relational, hands-on leadership. • Navigate change and growth with flexibility and focus. • Focus more on building systems and people than providing ongoing pastoral care.

What You Bring: • Proven leadership experience (ministry, business, nonprofit, or similar). • Strong communication and preaching skills. • A passion for building healthy, reproducing churches. • The ability to see the big picture and work the plan to get there. • Comfortable in multi-ethnic, multi-class, and multi-generational settings. • A proactive, self-starting attitude—no micromanagement needed. • Willingness to work bi-vocationally while the church grows into full-time capacity.

What We Offer: • A church with a strong core and growing momentum. • A chance to lead real change in a city ripe for gospel impact. • A supportive team and board committed to long-term vision. • The opportunity to shape the future of a church from the ground up. • We are baptistic in our heritage and practice.
