Job Description

Redeemer Modesto is seeking a Lead Pastor who can unite the church around a shared mission while remaining deeply rooted in their identity in the Gospel. They need a leader who can help bring greater clarity to the mission and vision, communicate that vision in a compelling way, and build healthy momentum toward becoming a church that is increasingly sent into the neighborhoods, city, and world.

About Redeemer Modesto

Redeemer Church is a Gospel-centered, non-denominational church located in downtown Modesto, California. Planted in 2007, they are a church deeply committed to loving and serving the city and becoming a family of Jesus followers who are secure in the Gospel, shaped by the way of Jesus, and sent for the good of the city and the world.

Their weekly attendance is approximately 63, and they operate with an annual budget of $360,000 and no debt. They hold to historic, orthodox Christian theology and maintain a high view of Scripture, while thoughtfully and meaningfully engaging the community and culture around them. Their roots are strongly Gospel-centered, with significant early influence from teachers such as Tim Keller and John Piper. In more recent years, they have been increasingly shaped by voices such as Dallas Willard and John Mark Comer, particularly in the areas of spiritual formation, apprenticeship to Jesus, and the practices of the Christian life. After navigating a significant season of transition, Redeemer is emerging with renewed clarity around mission and vision. They are excited about the next chapter God is writing in their nearly 20-year story and are seeking a Lead Pastor who can help them grow in that vision, not by changing who they are, but by helping them become more fully who God is calling them to be.

Position Overview

The Lead Pastor is primarily responsible for preaching and vision, as well as providing spiritual oversight and direction to the congregation and staff members. The pastor preaches and provides vision in a way that equips the saints to do the work of ministry, serving as a champion of the church's mission statement and values. In cooperation with the Elders, the Lead Pastor will have primary leadership of all church ministries as a member of the Eldership, leading in submission to the plurality of Elders.

  • Preach and teach regularly, providing biblically grounded and compelling leadership from the pulpit
  • Provide spiritual vision and strategic direction for the church
  • Lead, develop, and empower staff, elders, and volunteer leaders
  • Shepherd the congregation through prayer, pastoral care, counseling, and significant life events
  • Provide oversight of church ministries, operations, and organizational health
  • Cultivate relationships with local pastors, ministries, and community partners
  • Model a healthy rhythm of spiritual formation, ongoing learning, Sabbath, and rest

They are seeking a Lead Pastor who is grounded in sound, orthodox biblical interpretation and personally committed to being formed into the likeness of Jesus. The ideal candidate will be an authentic, self-aware, and emotionally mature leader who takes initiative while thriving in a collaborative environment. He or she will be deeply relational, able to build trust across the congregation, and passionate about equipping and developing others for ministry. If you are a thoughtful, spiritually grounded leader who desires to lead alongside others and help a church grow in its apprenticeship to Jesus, they invite you to prayerfully consider joining Redeemer in its next chapter.

Salary Range: $75,000 - $85,000

Redeemer Modesto asks that interested candidates work directly with Chemistry Staffing at this time. Please do not contact the church directly. Thank you!
