Job Board

At Neighborhood Church, we exist to lead our neighbors to life-changing relationships with Jesus. Our heart beats for people who are crushed by the weight of trying to measure up to an impossible standard. We know the cure isn’t more striving, more rules, or more religion, but a relationship with the only one who ever has and ever will be perfect. We want to help the hurting, the confused and the barely-holding-it-together discover who they are in light of who God is, and live like it matters.

We’re a new church plant headed toward Grand Opening in September 2023. We’re gathering a team of passionate Kingdom-builders to launch and begin to carry the vision forward into reality as we follow Jesus together.

PURPOSE
