The Organization:
The 3Streams Church Planting Network is part of the Anglican Church in North America, with a vision to plant gospel-centered, sacramental churches throughout the Denver metro area. This role will involve a church planting residency, specifically targeting Southeast Denver, with the goal of launching a new church in the community.
The Position:
The call to plant a church is both exciting and weighty, especially in the season between receiving that call and launching. This role is for a church planter with a deep sense of calling to plant in Southeast Denver—Parker, Highlands Ranch, or the surrounding area—who has a genuine warmth for the people of this community.
To lay the foundation for a strong, lasting church, the planter will begin with a one-year residency designed to provide essential support, wisdom, prayer, strategic planning, and potential funding. This residency is not just a stepping stone—it is the first stage of planting a thriving church in Southeast Denver. The planter will move through this season with intentional support, positioning the new church for long-term health and impact in the community.
Responsibilities:
- Establish a presence in Southeast Denver, building relationships, listening, learning, and praying.
- Develop and articulate a clear vision, mission, and strategy for planting the church.
- Network with other believers in the area to foster connections.
- Recruit and develop a team of prayer partners.
- Engage with the unchurched and cultivate relationships in the target area.
- Form and lead a launch team tailored to the chosen planting strategy.
- Oversee administrative responsibilities necessary for a successful church launch.
- Participate in Network meetings and contribute to shared responsibilities within the organization.
- Fundraising for a portion of salary.
Qualifications:
- Education: Masters of Divinity or equivalent.
- Theological Clarity: Strong understanding of the Gospel, deep biblical knowledge, and a firm grasp of Anglican faith and doctrine.
- Spiritual Vitality: A thriving relationship with Jesus, strong devotional habits, and a commitment to Word and Sacrament.
- Calling to Church Planting: A clear and developing sense of calling rather than a fallback option or external compulsion.
- Healthy Marriage and Family: A mature and supportive marriage, family stability, and financial health that supports long-term ministry.
- Relationship Building: A passion for people, the ability to form new relationships and a heart for community engagement.
- Leadership Ability: Vision casting, team leadership, system creation, and decision-making with integrity and humility.
- Missional Lifestyle: Demonstrated ability to engage the lost and form community within a city’s cultural context.
- Disciple-Making Skills: Proven experience in disciple-making and equipping others for ministry.
- Entrepreneurial Aptitude: A self-starter with a high-risk tolerance, vision for what could be, and perseverance for long-term success.
- Anglican Ethos: A commitment to the Anglican Church’s Word and Sacrament tradition, particularly within the Reformed Anglican tradition and its stance on male priesthood.
