Lead Elder

Centre Church

Lead Elder – Centre Church (Red Deer, Alberta)

Church Description

Centre Church is a gospel-centered, deeply relational church located in downtown Red Deer, Alberta. Originally planted in the 1950s, the church relaunched in April 2025 with a simple mission: love God, love people, and serve the city in Jesus’ name. We have a vision to see 100 people respond to the love of Jesus by the end of 2030; by God’s grace, 72 people did in 2025 through various ministry efforts.

Centre Church is part of the Commission family of churches. Our congregation currently includes around 75 people, with an average Sunday attendance of approximately 40–60. The church reflects a mixed demographic with people of all ages and stages of life.

We desire to be a church deeply rooted in the Word, Spirit, and relationships, seeking to replicate the early Church of Acts 2 in the Twenty-First Century.

Job Summary

Centre Church is seeking a Lead Elder who meets the biblical qualifications for eldership as described in 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:5–9.

The Lead Elder will serve as the primary shepherd and teaching elder of the church while working alongside the existing eldership team. He will help guide the spiritual direction of the church, equip leaders, preach the Word of God, and provide pastoral oversight to the congregation.

This role functions within a plurality of elders, with the Lead Elder serving as a first among equals who helps lead the elder team and broader leadership structures of the church.

The position may be fully vocational or bi-vocational, depending on the candidate and circumstances.

  • Help discern and articulate the vision and strategic direction of the church.
  • Lead and facilitate elder meetings.

Pastoral Care

  • Shepherd and care for members of the congregation through prayer, discipleship, and pastoral guidance.
  • Equip and mobilize others within the church to participate in pastoral care and discipleship.

Leadership Development

  • Identify, train, and raise up future leaders within the church.
  • Support ministry leaders and volunteers in their service.

Church Life and Ordinances

  • Oversee the administration of the church ordinances and aspects of gathered worship in partnership with the elders and ministry leaders.
  • Contribute to the overall spiritual health and unity of the congregation.

Qualifications

The Lead Elder must:

  • Meet the biblical qualifications for elders outlined in 1 Timothy 3:1–7 and Titus 1:5–9.
  • Demonstrate a deep commitment to the authority and sufficiency of Scripture.
  • Be a man of prayer and personal devotion to Christ.
  • Affirm Centre Church’s doctrinal convictions and theological posture.
  • Be capable of teaching Scripture clearly and faithfully.
  • Be able to work collaboratively with a plurality of elders.

  • Continuationist in expression.
  • Committed to the authority and centrality of Scripture in all aspects of church life.
