Weekend Pastor information

What is a Weekend Pastor?

A Weekend Pastor is a clergy member or minister who leads religious services and provides pastoral care primarily on weekends, often in a part-time or supplemental capacity. They may be responsible for preaching, conducting worship services, and offering support to congregants during weekend gatherings. Weekend Pastors often serve churches that do not require or cannot support a full-time pastor, or they may assist full-time pastors by focusing on weekend activities. Their role is vital in ensuring regular spiritual services and community support are available to church members.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a weekend pastor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Weekend Pastor, you need a solid theological background, experience in preaching, and often a degree in divinity or ministry. Familiarity with church management software, presentation tools, and online streaming platforms is commonly required. Compassion, strong interpersonal communication, and adaptability are vital soft skills for connecting with congregants and leading diverse services. These abilities ensure effective spiritual leadership, engaging worship experiences, and supportive pastoral care within the church community.

What are some common challenges faced by weekend pastors, and how can they effectively manage their workload?

Weekend Pastors often balance multiple responsibilities, such as preparing sermons, leading worship services, and providing pastoral care within a compressed timeframe. One common challenge is managing time effectively while addressing the spiritual and practical needs of the congregation, especially during peak weekends or church events. To handle this, many Weekend Pastors prioritize strong organizational skills, collaborate closely with church staff and volunteers, and set aside dedicated slots for sermon preparation and pastoral duties. Building a reliable support network within the church can also help distribute tasks and prevent burnout.

A CAREER AT CCS
Our people are our greatest strength. The collective sum of the individual experiences, backgrounds, knowledge, and talent that our employees invest in their work represents a significant part of not only our culture, but our reputation of excellence.
 
Whether it’s in one of our regional offices or on the ground with our clients, you will have direct access to leaders in the field, expanding your opportunities to learn and build your network for future success. We invest in the training, tools, and support necessary for growth throughout your career and encourage peer collaboration in a lively and engaging environment.

CATHOLIC PARISH AND DIOCESAN CAMPAIGN PROJECTS
CCS is a leader in directing transformational, multimillion dollar campaigns for Catholic dioceses and parishes. Our diocesan campaign work is carried out by a team of dedicated CCS consultants serving as Faith-Based Fundraising Consultant. Each consultant manages multiple parish campaigns simultaneously and contributes to achieving overall diocesan campaign goals.
 
Consultants partner closely with onsite campaign executives, fellow Faith-Based Fundraising Consultants, pastors, parish staff, and volunteers to execute a phased, highly structured campaign plan. This work requires consultants to be onsite at client locations Monday–Friday, with regular evening hours and occasional weekend commitments depending on parish needs.
 
Diocesan campaigns are mission driven, community focused, fast paced, and highly collaborative. The environment is supportive, fun, and provides a deeply rewarding opportunity to contribute to meaningful local impact. Consultants build strong relationships with pastors, volunteers, and donors while developing leadership skills that will serve them throughout their careers.
WHAT WE OFFER 
  • Expenses & Travel Support: CCS provides temporary relocation assistance for employees assigned to campaigns outside their home or working state. This includes up to four weeks of covered hotel and meal expenses, temporary lease application fees, and approved lease and utility costs, all managed through Navan. Depending on the assignment, employees may also receive access to rental cars or leased vehicles to support their campaign needs. 
  • Learning & Development: These projects are widely regarded as one of the strongest learning environments in major gift fundraising and the broader field of philanthropy. Many consultants begin on these engagements and go on to lead diocesan campaigns or pursue advanced campaign work across sectors.
  • Collaborative Environment: While CCS consultants typically serve as the primary project manager, consultants collaborate with 1–2 dozen colleagues across the life of a campaign, gaining exposure to diverse perspectives and expertise.
  • Training, Mentorship & Support: CCS provides a clear roadmap for growth, dedicated mentors, and extensive learning resources. While the role requires flexibility and commitment, consultants are supported with structure, coaching, and tools to succeed.
WHO YOU ARE
Outstanding candidates bring diverse experiences, a strong interest in philanthropy, and the ambition to grow in a rewarding consulting career. The ideal candidate is highly self-motivated, curious, and passionate about mission driven work. While prior fundraising experience is welcome, candidates with transferable skills in consulting, communications, marketing, project management, or strategic planning are encouraged to apply.  This role is an excellent opportunity for early career professionals and recent college graduates. No Catholic or religious background is required.

  • Thrive in a mission oriented, community focused environment
  • Support clients, volunteers, and donors to ensure a positive, effective campaign experience
  • Lead and manage projects from start to finish
