Job Description

While checking out ministry jobs online today I came across this job description.

• • Minimum of 3 years full time experience leading a college and / or young adult ministry in a church of at least 2000 in weekend attendance
• • Currently on staff at a church of 2000+ in attendance
• • At least 3 years substantial numerical growth in college or young adult ministry
• • Must be open to the regular use of the gifts of the Spirit, including speaking in tongues and the interpretation of tongues

Ok, obviously very few would get excited about applying for this job because it's apparent from this that the most important thing to this church is numerical growth. But put that aside.

If you fit this description, meaning you are leading a church of at least 2000 and have had 3 years of substantial numerical growth, why would you leave? I think this one's going to be hard to fill. Not many pastors I know are going to say, "yeah, the heck with this booming, growing ministry. I'm outta here!"
