About Bayou City Fellowship

Bayou City Fellowship is a gospel-centered church committed to being radically focused on

Jesus, serving our city and the world, and starting new churches. We are a multi-campus

church located in the Houston area with a heart for prayer, discipleship, community, and

Mission.

Position Summary

The Executive Pastor will help the Senior Pastor manage the operational & organizational

aspects of the church. The role may be summarized as one that strengthens and

implements existing operational practices, establishes new systems, processes and

practices where necessary, and facilitates effective ministry to ensure that our mission is

carried out with excellence and humility. There is also an aspect of the pastoral function

that is inherent in this role and therefore, this role may be viewed as one that provides

operational leadership through a pastoral framework to create a healthy, growing, and

spiritually vibrant church. The Executive Pastor will provide operational leadership for both

tactical and strategic aspects of the ministry. While the Executive Pastor will be expected

to attend all global elder meetings, he will not be a member of the elder board. Our
