The vision at Bridgetown is In Portland As It Is In Heaven. We live this out by Practicing the Way of Jesus Together in Portland. We organize our church around apprenticing with Jesus in community, gathering around a stage on Sundays and around the table throughout the week in smaller Bridgetown Communities. We believe that to be an apprentice of Jesus of Nazareth is to order our lives around three goals: be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. Our dream is that as we live this way, our lives, our communities, and our city will be transformed. Role Summary: Life together with others who follow Jesus is core to Christian discipleship; there is no solo apprenticeship. To this end, Bridgetown Communities—what Bridgetown calls its small groups—is the backbone of Bridgetown Church. We have more than 1700 people in more than 140 Communities, and they serve as the primary vehicle for formation and relationship. These Communities meet weekly for communion and a meal, and have monthly rhythms of serving our city and working through spiritual formation curriculum together. The Communities team is looking for someone to implement administrative and logistical leadership across the department. The Communities Team Coordinator will partner with the Pastors of Community and the Pastor of Spiritual Formation in supporting Bridgetown Communities and their Leaders by managing various aspects of planning, communication, and logistics.
