The Community: The Lake Country region of Wisconsin (west of Milwaukee) is one of Wisconsin’s best kept secrets.  Those who live there relish the summer because, as its name suggest; it’s lake country.  Abundant waterfront property, lakeside restaurants, boating activities, and endless summer days characterize this southeastern corner of the Midwestern state.  The Lake Country region is an affluent yet friendly community west of the big city.  But although it offers some of the best outdoor recreational opportunities in the state, that’s not the only thing it’s known for. It’s also a region highly close knit, with a strong emphasis on family values and education.  The schools in the Lake Country region are some of the best in the Milwaukee area, even the entire state.  Moving to the area bring charming houses on tree lined streets and idyllic views from the backyard into focus.  Lake Country is an affluent and sophisticated neighborhood, but one that tis also incredibly warm and welcoming as visitors discover what those who live there love so much about it.  The Campus: At Elmbrook Lake Country, we are a community of people who are committed to helping every person who walks through our doors know they are known and loved.  A hallmark of this campus is the connection that people feel with one another and the relational warmth that is experienced both after services and ministry throughout the week. Over the past year, the campus has grown under the leadership of the new campus pastor, and many new young families are calling the Lake Country Campus home. Along with an excellent growing staff, the campus benefits from a high level of volunteerism that allows ministry to flourish.  Like the community in which it is located, the campus has a “come as you are” feel with most members and attendees dressing rather casually.     

- Position of Associate Pastor -  Emphasis on Outreach and Discipleship to Young Families and Youth Welcome to Beginning Point We’re so glad to have you praying about joining our team! This guide is meant to provide you with information about us as we seek the Lord’s direction for the couple who God will call to help us reach out to best fulfill our mission: “Pointing Everyone to Jesus” WHO WE ARE A Bible-believing, Spirit-dependent, Gospel-preaching, Disciple-making and Jesus-following Family of God For a full statement of our doctrine visit: https://www.beginningpointchurch.com/beliefs.html Our Mission : "To be a Gospel witness and a light of Biblical truth, pointing everyone to Jesus.” Our Values: “Be.Born.Again;  Be.Spirit.Filled; More.Jesus” Our Vision: “Gather;  Grow; Give;  GO” See a full description of what we are about at https://www.beginningpointchurch.com/about.html *A good way to see and hear and get a feel for who we are would be to visit our website: www.BeginningPointChurch.com Here you can sit in on recorded services or even take time to join us live at 10:30 am central time for a live-stream of the service. Also, check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PointingEveryoneToJesus/ Synopsis of the position: Beginning Point Church began a “reset” of our church fellowship in the Summer of 2017 when we brought in a new senior pastor to revitalize God’s calling upon us as a church to be for His Glory in Southwest Wisconsin. Since then, we have re-established our identity in the community and we are being led by the Lord to now emphasize outreach to Benton and the surrounding small communities including Hazel Green, Cuba City, Shullsburg and the outlying areas...a population of around 11,000 people.  We are uniquely positioned, being centrally located in this area, as the only church that is preaching the born-again Gospel of the Lord Jesus and fostering a conservative Biblical Kingdom-centered discipleship, based in the literal Truth of God’s Word and a dependency on the Holy Spirit. “The fields are ripe unto harvest” certainly describes our footprint in this area of beautiful Southwest Wisconsin. Front-and-center of our emphasis is to specifically concentrate on outreach and discipleship to the many new young families and their children who are establishing their new homes and moving into this growing area. We feel the need now to address this emphasis by bringing aboard a husband and wife team who have it as their shared passion and calling to reach and disciple young families and children for Christ.  The ideal team would be one where the husband would be gifted in evangelism, preaching and teaching and who would have a real desire and plan in his heart to also reach youth and their parents together for Christ. His wife would be called alongside her husband in the work emphasizing her passion to reach and teach youth and kids for the Lord Jesus. The elder-led structure of this church is committed to setting this God-called husband and wife team free from most administrative and “personnel concerns” of the congregation in order that they would be supported and empowered to minister with focus upon their passion and calling. Admittedly, our congregation’s demographic is on the older side, but we do have a core of kids and a few young families that are hungry, serving and engaged. Nonetheless, this position is definitely for a self-starting, vision-driven, entrepreneurial Spirit-filled husband and wife team who can see the future as God imparts His calling on their hearts and minds. Practically speaking you would be working in concert with the senior pastor in that orientation phase of coming aboard under the direct supervision and support of the elders of our church. You would be encouraged to pray for the Lord’s leading in strategizing and planning outreach and discipleship of young families and youth, including the possibility of starting an after-school ministry reaching out to the Benton School just down the street.  Regular ministry would be to continue to develop and expand our Wednesday Evening Kid’s Ministry, evangelistic events to reach kids, youth and families for Christ. Oversight, teaching and training related to the youth Sunday School ministry would also be required. Part of the vision for future expansion of your ministry would include developing a summer camp ministry, Winter retreat and special event calendar for generating forward momentum in the overall ministry. Future development of special Bible studies and outreach meetings and/or regular gatherings covering parenting and family issues would also be part of this position as the Lord would so lead. If you are interested in learning more please send a cover letter and resume to: Carl Babler 9999 County Road H Cuba City, WI 53807 Or email an electronic version to: cbabler@attenbabler.com office.beginningpoint@gmail.com   Other Qualifications:   Because this position involves working with youth, all applicants must be willing to go through and pass a background check that we provide. Must be Born-Again with a testimony of God's saving grace and  have a vibrant daily walk with the Lord. Must be willing to have a full time presence in the church and community. Must be a positive person who desires to build relationships and sees the good in others. Must be able to work well with the elders in a spirit of cooperation and shared vision. Must believe that prayer is the central requirement and resource for the Christian life and Kingdom ministry. Must be in agreement with the doctrine of Beginning Point Church Experience in working with youth and young families in a church fellowship is a requirement and must be supported with references. Education directly relating to this position is preferred, but faithful and positive experience is more important. Must be a self-starter and visionary type of person who can navigate challenges with faith and forward looking perseverance. Must be able and willing to understand, articulate and promote the stated Mission, Values and Vision of Beginning Point Church under the direction of the elders and the senior pastor.
