Who We Are
The vision of Citylight church is to see the gospel transform the city of Omaha and beyond through multiplying disciples and churches. It is our scriptural conviction that the church is God’s ordained means to reach the world with the gospel. Therefore, our strategy for fulfilling the Great Commission is planting churches that plant churches. In keeping with our mission and strategy these are the characteristics we look for in those who seek to join our staff family:
Christ-like Character
We believe you will reproduce what you are. We want our staff to possess a deep love for Jesus and have a lifestyle that is in obedience to Jesus' commands and Lordship.
Calling
We are not looking for people who simply want a job at Citylight. We’re looking for individuals who have a strong calling and desire to leverage their life for gospel proclamation and demonstration. We want a staff that is passionate about Jesus and the local church.
Competencies
We desire employees who are gifted in their role and passionate about their skillset. We hope that all employees will communicate, teach, and lead well; being able to develop future leaders within the church and be the resident expert in their role.
Culture
Citylight Church is not an organization with a CEO at the top. We are a family of brothers and sisters who are called to love and serve the church in the same way Jesus did (Galatians 6:10). Those on staff at Citylight are team players who show genuine love and care for those we work with, elevating the interests of others above our own.
Leadership Development
Internships & Residency Program
The Citylight Church Internship and Residencies are two-year leadership development programs that exist to equip and empower the next generation of gospel-centered leaders to multiply disciples and churches. We believe that the Internship and Residency program is a pipeline for future pastors, church planters, church leaders, elders, and missionaries, in the local church.
God is writing a story in and through our church! We are getting the joy of seeing new people trust Jesus, new groups getting launched and new churches be planted! If you want to be a part of the story God is writing and you have a passion to do vocational ministry, please consider the available positions!
