Chester Park Campus Pastor

Job Overview

We are looking for someone to lead our Chester Park Campus. The previous campus pastor has been on staff for six years and helped us established the Chester Park Campus in 2020, three weeks before Covid hit. It had been meeting on Sunday nights as an additional service for about a year and a half before we hired Dean to move it to Sunday morning and establish it as it’s own campus. This role is an exciting opportunity to lead a campus right next to the University of Minnesota Duluth. We are looking for someone who is a strong communicator that wants to preach, lead and develop other leaders, but who wants to do so with the resources, coaching and structure of an existing missional church. Chester Park currently averages about 130-140 people each week. It is a good mix of college students and families and has a lot of opportunity for growth due to its strategic location. Duluth is a great city for those who like the outdoors and enjoy elements of both city and small town life.
