Director of Ministerial Health and Development
The Northwest Conference
Position type: Full-time
The Director of Ministerial Health and Development will encourage Covenant pastors, staff ministers, and their spouses to grow deeper in their relationship with Christ and to grow more faithful and fruitful in relationships with others, especially with those whom they are called to serve. Although individual care and support is provided when requested or needed, our primary goal is to develop and sustain a conference culture of healthy, missional pastors/staff who are consistently engaging in mutual accountability partnerships, affinity groups, mentoring and advocacy options, continuing education and retreat opportunities, and other peer gatherings that build Christ-like character, competency and constancy. The Director of Ministerial Health and Development will focus on developing pastors and staff ministers to be developers of lay leaders in their congregations.
Specifically, the Director of Ministerial Health and Development shall work closely with the Superintendent and NWC staff, as well as serve as a conference representative/ECC representative as needed.
To apply, make sure your Covconnect profile is up to date, and send a letter of interest to Superintendent Kara Stromberg, stating why you’d be a good candidate to join the NWC team in this role, and how you hope to grow this area of ministry in the Northwest Conference. Application review will begin Oct. 20, 2025.
