Now Hiring: A Lead Pastor with a Heart for the Nations (Right at Home in Minnesota)


Community of Nations Church (CNC) in Roseville, Minnesota isn’t your average suburban congregation, and they’re not looking for an average pastor either.

Tucked between Minneapolis and St. Paul, Roseville offers all the perks of urban access with the comfort of a safe, family-friendly community. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find an Ethiopian restaurant next to a Target, a multicultural congregation gathering down the street from a recreation center, and neighbors who speak ten different languages. It’s no wonder CNC has leaned into the diversity of their city as a core part of their mission.

This congregation of about 60 people is seeking a Lead Pastor who’s eager to love, lead, and listen across cultures. They value strong biblical teaching, intercultural fluency, and someone who can guide their small but faithful community into deeper discipleship and wider outreach. They’re  especially passionate about reaching young families, caring for the marginalized, and equipping their people to serve in everyday life.

If you’ve got a heart for multiethnic ministry and love the idea of pastoring in a setting that looks more like Acts 2 than Mayberry, CNC might just be your next calling. You’ll find a tight-knit team, a recently refreshed facility, and a community that truly wants to grow, both in number and spiritual maturity.

This is ministry in the middle of real life. It’s joyful, diverse, a little messy, and full of opportunity. If that sounds like home, we’d love to introduce you.

 
 

P.S. If this job isn't exactly what you're looking for, feel free to check the job board of open positions.
