Full Job Description

The Lead Pastor of VC Sawmill serves as the primary spiritual, missional, and organizational leader of a thriving congregation in the northwest Columbus region. This leader will provide vision, pastoral leadership, biblical teaching, and strategic direction while cultivating a healthy, disciple-making church that reaches its community and advances the Kingdom of God.

VC Sawmill is a well-established congregation with a strong volunteer culture, experienced leaders, and significant opportunities for growth and impact. The Lead Pastor will equip and develop leaders, strengthen ministry teams, engage the surrounding community, and build the systems and structures necessary for long-term health, multiplication, and mission. Success in this role requires a leader who can inspire people around a compelling vision, develop others for ministry, and shepherd a diverse, multigenerational congregation with wisdom, humility, and faith.

Working collaboratively within the broader Vineyard Columbus network, the Lead Pastor will faithfully steward shared values, ministry practices, and organizational systems while building the leadership culture, governance strength, and ministry capacity needed for the next season of ministry. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of an influential congregation and extend its impact throughout the northwest Columbus region and beyond.

About us:

Vineyard Columbus exists to develop multiethnic communities of disciples who experience God, love one another, and partner with Christ to heal the world.

As a church, we are committed to being a great friend to our city and to building communities that reflect Christlike unity while celebrating the diversity of our congregation and staff.

Beyond weekend services at multiple locations across Central Ohio, we serve our neighbors through the Vineyard Community Center, which provides free health clinics, food assistance, ESL classes, Value Life resources, and other practical support—all opportunities to share the love of Jesus in tangible ways.

Who we're looking for:

We are seeking a spiritually mature and mission-focused leader who combines strong pastoral gifting with proven organizational leadership. The ideal candidate is passionate about making disciples, developing leaders, engaging people beyond the walls of the church, and building healthy ministry systems that help a congregation thrive.

This role is particularly well-suited for a catalytic leader with a builder's mindset. Someone who is energized by developing people, strengthening organizations, and creating pathways for long-term ministry impact.

This pastor is a gifted communicator of Scripture, a relational shepherd, and a leader of leaders who equips others for ministry rather than carrying ministry alone. They are energized by opportunities to cultivate new leaders, strengthen ministry teams, and help people discover and live out their role in God's mission.

Most importantly, this individual demonstrates humility, emotional maturity, spiritual depth, and a wholehearted commitment to the mission and values of Vineyard Columbus.

Desired qualifications:

Meets the biblical qualifications for church leadership as outlined in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1.
Demonstrates spiritual maturity, emotional health, humility, integrity, and a life marked by the fruits of the Spirit.
Strong biblical and theological foundation with an understanding of Kingdom theology and Vineyard distinctives.
Proven experience leading teams, ministries, organizations, or congregations through growth and change.
Gifted preacher and communicator who can teach Scripture in a way that is biblically grounded, engaging, and applicable.
Demonstrated ability to develop leaders, build healthy teams, and create systems that support ministry effectiveness and multiplication.
Passion for evangelism, outreach, discipleship, and community engagement.
Strong relational intelligence with the ability to build trust, navigate conflict, and lead through complexity and change.
Experience serving in diverse, multigenerational, and multiethnic ministry environments is highly valued.
Bachelor's degree, theological training, or equivalent ministry experience.

We offer:

Vineyard Columbus values hard work, sustainable rhythms, and the pursuit of healthy and well-balanced lives. Our staff are supported in their ministry by a great team environment and generous benefits. Benefits for pastoral roles include:

Low-cost medical, dental, vision and insurance available, including an HSA plan with employer contributions
Paid time off for personal, sick, and parental leave
Equivalent of 13 days off per calendar year for holidays and staff refresh days
Annual Spiritual Direction and Professional Counseling benefit
Annual prayer retreat benefit
Housing Allowance
Gym membership or equivalent subsidy
Tuition reimbursement and professional development benefits
Employed-paid life insurance, and short-term and long-term disability coverage
403(b) Retirement Plan including immediate eligibility for employer match
