The Lakes Church

Location: Tuggerah, NSW

Location type: On-Site

Date advertised: 12th November 2025

Job Type: Full time

Closing Date: 31st December 2025

Lead a thriving, gospel-centred church into its next season of growth

The Lakes Evangelical Church is a vibrant and growing gospel community on NSW's Central Coast. With over 600 adults and 150 children, a team of 18 mainly part-time staff, and more than 400 active volunteers, we're prayerfully seeking a Senior Pastor to lead us into our next chapter of ministry.

After 24 years of faithful leadership from our founding pastor, this is a unique opportunity to serve a united, mission-driven church with strong governance, healthy teams, and clear strategic direction.

Our vision is simple but bold:

To see a flood of disciples following Jesus — overflowing with His love, guided by God's Word, and empowered by His Spirit so that everyone in our region has compelling reason to follow Him.

We're looking for a Senior Pastor who will:

  • Provide visionary leadership and pastoral oversight for a large and growing church family
  • Lead and equip staff and volunteer teams with gospel-centred clarity and care
  • Preach God's Word faithfully and engagingly through expository teaching
  • Partner with our Church Council to steward resources and sustain strategic growth
  • Champion evangelism, discipleship, and leadership development across all ministries

You'll bring:

  • A proven track record of senior or significant pastoral leadership (5–7+ years)
  • Deep love for Jesus and His church, grounded in reformed evangelical theology
  • Strong preaching, communication, and team leadership skills
  • FIEC alignment and theological qualifications

Why The Lakes?

You'll join a healthy, growing church with established ministries, expanding facilities, and a compelling vision for gospel impact across the Central Coast. We offer a competitive remuneration package, a supportive council and staff team, and a community eager to follow Jesus together.
