Come Grow with Alliance Church

Alliance Church, part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, is a vibrant, multisite, 4,000-person church with a long legacy of health, growth, and mission. With three thriving locations (Appleton, Hortonville, and Neenah launched in 2025), a rich 85-year history, and a culture built on extraordinary leadership, Alliance continues to expand its impact across the Fox Valley.

Chemistry Staffing is excited to partner with Alliance Church as they search for their next Associate Pastor of Adult & Men’s Ministries, a key leader who will champion the church’s vision of “Connecting the world with God and one another.”

This new pastor will play a vital role in shaping and elevating adult, men’s, and groups ministries at every location, helping to cultivate a vibrant culture of discipleship, leadership development, and community connection. With significant momentum across ministries and a deep commitment to excellence, Alliance is ready for a high-capacity leader to step in and guide this area into its next chapter.

The Next Associate Pastor Will:

• Remove barriers for ministry leaders by problem-solving challenges, assisting with oversight, and creating environments where adults can thrive spiritually.
• Cultivate healthy culture by championing strong staff relationships, mentoring direct reports, and fostering unity across teams.
• Drive alignment across all locations to ensure adult ministries move in rhythm with the broader church’s vision and multisite strategy.
• Set vision and strategy for Men’s Ministry, equipping leaders at each campus and ensuring a cohesive and compelling approach.
• Coach and equip adult ministry leaders, building systems that support small groups, men’s/women’s ministries, young adult groups, senior adult groups, support groups, and mini-church home groups.
• Provide pastoral care, including teaching, counseling, ceremonies, and service hosting.
• Champion leadership development, empowering both seasoned and emerging leaders across ministries and campuses.

High-Capacity Leadership Needed

A standout candidate will be a leader of leaders:  someone who brings strong management skills, pastoral warmth, and the ability to unify teams. The ideal pastor thrives in both large group environments and relational, small-group settings. They will be adaptable, emotionally intelligent, confident in communication, and energized by equipping others for ministry.

If you love building systems, forming leaders, and fostering discipleship environments that multiply impact, this role offers abundant opportunity.

A Church Committed to Extraordinary Culture

Alliance Church is guided by a set of 23 “Fundamentals” that define their leadership DNA: behaviors like remembering God, embracing change, delivering legendary service, speaking straight, and keeping things fun. These cultural anchors shape staff expectations and empower the entire team to serve with purpose, humility, and passion.

With 136 staff members and a 160,000-square-foot facility hosting ministries for all ages, Alliance operates with the excellence of a large church while maintaining the warmth and connection of a tight-knit community. From Discovery Land and Students to Xcel Sports, Hope Clinic, and global partnerships, the church’s reach extends far beyond its walls.
