The members of GracePoint are expected to consistently and faithfully walk the pathway toward spiritual maturity that the Bible describes as “discipleship.” Your role is to design multi-option pathways that equip the adults of the church family to grow to Christian maturity in all areas of life and help others do the same.

Care:
The GracePoint community thrives because unity and love are at the core of our relationships. Your role is to develop and lead a team of people who facilitate a multi-faceted care strategy that provides consistent care and support for all segments of the church family.

Pastoral:
Our leaders serve, equip and guide the GracePoint family as we walk the path toward spiritual maturity together. Your role is to serve the GracePoint family through leadership that encourages, equips, admonishes and unites them to make Jesus our message, walk the path of discipleship and strive toward spiritual maturity.
