Regional President

The Regional President of Converge Rocky Mountain plays a unique leadership role, giving direction to a vast geographical region of independent, autonomous Converge congregations.  Leading this kind of decentralized organization necessitates exchanging a CEO mindset for one of a catalyst/coordinator. The Regional President’s  ability to influence must be built through relational trust, compassionate care for pastors and churches, active listening, competent coaching, the ability to create a culture of collaboration, and a spiritual authority that grows out of his personal walk with God. The Regional President will build a Jesus-centered movement culture marked by a passionate pursuit of Christ, a deep value for every church (regardless of size or setting), and a commitment to disciples who make disciples.  A Regional President must have tremendous people skills, being able to understand needs, build teams, and clearly communicate a compelling regional vision that has grown out of the interactions of their church network: a district-wide vision that will unite independent congregations to work together, starting and strengthening churches, and sending believers across the street and around the world to declare the Gospel.

The Regional President role includes the following:

1. Visionary and Executive Leadership and Strategic Planning

2. Church Starting and Multiplication: Strengthen and expand church-planting efforts across the Rocky Mountain region by implementing a church-planting strategy to expand the Kingdom and lead more people to become disciple-making disciples.

3. Church Strengthening and Leadership Development: With a team, implement a church strengthening strategy to provide guidance, coaching, resources, and renewal strategies for existing pastors in established churches so they reproduce disciples, leaders, and congregations.

4. Church Sending and Missions Strategy: Develop a strategy to help churches effectively make a global impact through raising up missionaries, identifying mission partners, and engaging unreached people groups.

5. Staff Development and Administration: Provide oversight for the organizational aspects of the District office, staff, and key volunteer leaders.

6. Fundraising, Financial Oversight, and Donor Development: Provide leadership and develop systems that will inspire and cultivate a culture of generosity and provide adequate funding for the District Vision. The Regional President is also responsible for faithful stewardship of those resources and the District's long-term financial sustainability.

7. Cultivate Team Partnerships with the other Converge Districts and the national office of Converge so as to accomplish the District and National vision.
