Position Description

For over 90 years, Circle Drive Alliance Church has been a beacon of hope in Saskatoon’s Stonebridge neighbourhood, drawing nearly 600 people weekly. Our diverse, welcoming congregation, dynamic ministries, and expansive facility offer a unique opportunity for a Lead Pastor to deepen our impact, nurture leaders, and reach our city and beyond to “Love Like Jesus."

Circle Drive Alliance Church has been without a Lead Pastor since April of 2023. In June 2023, the Board of Elders invited a transitional pastor to pursue an intentional transition process that would help prepare the church for a thoughtful pastoral search from a posture of health. A Pastoral Search Profile has been developed as part of this transitional process. It will provide you with a detailed overview of our church, the community and what kind of Lead Pastor we are looking for.
