THE ORGANIZATION

Discovery Church in Orlando, Florida lives out the maxim, “It’s a privilege to be in a church where God is moving!” Nearly 5,000 souls gather in three physical locations and an online campus to reflect the church described in the book of Acts... a vision which will only be possible when the Spirit of God and the Word of God are powerfully at work in the life of the church. They are on a mission to make disciples of Jesus and are seeing profound life change among their growing and healthy congregation as men and women submit themselves to sound Biblical instruction. They are excited about their future, debt-free, and are engaged in a $58 million faith-initiative to expand and make permanent two of their existing campuses. But they sense God calling a special person to take a new leadership assignment, a pastor-teacher who is uniquely shaped to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. Someone whose preaching forms people into biblically-grounded, Spirit-empowered disciples, by the grace of God.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Discovery Church seeks to hire a Teaching Pastor (TP) to serve as a primary Bible teacher for the church, partnering with the Senior Lead Pastor and Elders to strengthen the church’s disciple-making mission. This newly created role is responsible for shaping Discovery’s preaching culture and equipping the congregation to live as disciples empowered by the Holy Spirit.

The TP will collaborate closely with the Campus Pastors in their teaching capacity. They will join a staff of 98 individuals plus contractors operating on a budget of $14.2 m. They are known to be well-led and managed and strive to maintain beautiful unity among diversity. The church is governed by a board of elders, of whom the Sr. Lead Pastor is first among equals.

The Teaching Pastor will be an experienced and skilled expositional Bible teacher and outstanding communicator. They will be a lead voice on the platform preaching to the congregation and will equip and coach the teaching team to greater effectiveness. The right candidate desires a place to serve not a platform to shine; has the intention to impact, not impress, and will genuinely pour themselves into a team of Gospel communicators to architect together a culture of transformational preaching.
