Who is Legacy Chapel?

Legacy Chapel will be a catalyst for cultural and spiritual transformation in Denver, Colorado where “Loving God, Loving People, and Serving our World" is the new cultural norm.  Sounds crazy we know, but with God all things are possible!  Our Vision statement of “Loving God, Loving People and Serving our World” is the essence of our mission and is THE activity (love) for every believer.  We will accomplish our Vision by remaining laser focused on the same mission God gave to the New Testament church over two thousand years ago - to love God and to love others! 

God’s Word guides the training and development of the church for success in every area of life, and Legacy Chapel will be an active and participating community of faith encouraging each member to discover and then serve their God-given gifts in every area of their lives.  It is with the Holy Spirit that we can take steps of faith to live an empowered life that transforms and leads others to Jesus! 

We believe the Kingdom of God will be advanced in Denver by ministering all aspects of our society – Family, Religion, Education, Business, Government, Entertainment and Media.  God has called his people to each of these areas in our society and we should not be isolated from it. But rather we are called to transform it with the power of Jesus Christ.  The local church is the hope of the world and loving Christians are the instrument God has chosen to bring about Kingdom transformation in the earth.

Who are we looking for?  
The ideal candidate will be a born again, Spirit-filled believer with a mature knowledge and application of God's Word that young parents and kids can understand.  We are looking for an individual passionate about organizing and executing children’s ministry with fresh ideas and innovative programs that captivate and disciple students and their parents. These ideas transcend conventional children's ministry, touching the lives of families and children by equipping them to know and experience Jesus in life-changing ways.  This person will have elementary age, large group bible teaching experience and understand how to be innovative and resourceful to create a life changing family ministry. This person must have passion to see children and their parents become fully devoted and Spirit empowered followers of Jesus Christ. 

We are looking for a unique yet specific personality for this position. Picture a person with the most outgoing personality you know mixed with your favorite elementary teacher and favorite youth sports coach.  We desire for this person and their marriage to be a magnet for others so you can point them to Jesus.  Ideally their personality is entertaining, engaging, and fun to be around.  In the DISC Assessment, they would be a high “I” likely mixed with a high “D”.  This person has proven leadership skills to mobilize, encourage, and inspire children, parents, and volunteers.  We are centering this role’s focus on making disciples who make disciples. This means that we expect our leadership, and especially our staff, to be Godly role-models who can raise up Christ like leaders.  If you are a mix of these gifts and are wired in this way, we’d love to talk with you.
