APNC Call for Pastor Nominations: Two Associate Pastor Roles

The Associate Pastor Nominating Committee (APNC) has worked prayerfully and thoughtfully to define two roles that reflect both the strengths of our church and the opportunities for where God is calling Brick to grow next.

Children’s, youth, and family ministries stand as some of Brick’s strongest assets and most vital growth opportunities, and the Associate Pastor for Children and Youth will hold primary responsibility for building upon these programs to shape a vibrant, spiritually rich experience for our community. This pastor will oversee the Sunday Church School for approximately 250 children, coordinate with the children’s music ministry, and lead key annual events such as the Sacraments class, Third Grade Bible Ceremony, and Christmas Pageant. Beyond administrative planning, the role focuses on forging deep pastoral relationships with parents and non-member Day School families, while collaborating with staff and committees to create holistic programming for middle and high school youth that fosters faith exploration, leadership, and service. In addition to guiding youth through milestones like Confirmation and integrating them into congregational life, the Associate Pastor will partner with the Senior Pastor in strategic visioning and regularly participate in worship, including preaching and the administration of sacraments.

The Associate Pastor for Pastoral Care and Community Ministries will provide a vital pastoral presence, offering compassionate one-on-one support and crisis care while spearheading churchwide initiatives for spiritual formation. This pastor will be responsible for developing a clear, trackable vision for pastoral care that meets the emotional and spiritual needs of members across all generations, while also guiding prayer ministries, Bible studies, and adult education. Beyond internal care, the Associate Pastor will equip Deacons and lay leaders, collaborate with the Mission Outreach and Grants committees to foster hands-on service opportunities with mission partners, and design strategies to attract and integrate new members and Day School families into the life of the church. This role also involves contributing to stewardship through the lens of spiritual engagement, partnering with the Senior Pastor on strategic visioning, and participating regularly in worship leadership and preaching. 

If you know a pastor who you believe would be a strong fit for Brick Church and may be open to a new opportunity, we would be grateful for your recommendation.
