Shepherd Staff is honored to be working with Grace Chapel in Foxborough, MA, as they search for their next Foxboro Campus Pastor. Grace Chapel is a vibrant, multi-site church originally founded in Lexington, Massachusetts, with additional campuses in Wilmington, Watertown, and Foxborough. The church is known for biblical teaching, thoughtful engagement with culture, and a welcoming, accessible presence in the community. Marked by racial and ethnic diversity, strong children and student engagement, and a deep commitment to discipleship across all ages, Grace Chapel seeks to form disciples who thoughtfully and faithfully follow Jesus in today’s world.

Grace Chapel is seeking a dedicated and gifted Campus Pastor to lead its Foxboro Campus. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong desire to advance God’s kingdom work in the region and will inspire, build, and lead a congregation of committed leaders, volunteers, and attendees.

The ideal candidate will be:

• A Pastor with Shepherd’s Heart and Relational Presence, with an Eye for Growth

Genuinely loves people and carries a deep pastoral instinct to care for, guide, and protect others. Builds trust naturally through warmth, authenticity, and spiritual maturity. Sees shepherding not as a task, but as a calling—pursuing people intentionally, cultivating belonging, and caring for souls with wisdom and compassion.

• Theologically Grounded and Culturally Thoughtful (Generous Orthodoxy)

Deeply rooted in historic Christian orthodoxy, while able to navigate complex theological and cultural issues with wisdom and balance. Embodies Grace Chapel’s convictional center—firm on core gospel truths and gracious on secondary matters.

• A One-Church, Multi-Campus Champion

Leads confidently within Grace Chapel’s “one church with many campuses” model. Champions the central vision and ministry philosophy, ensuring strong alignment rather than independent direction.

• Culture-Setting Sunday Host and Communicator

Serves as the visible, welcoming presence of the Foxboro Campus—guiding the flow of Sunday gatherings with warmth, clarity, and confidence. Communicates Scripture and vision in engaging and accessible ways, reinforcing culture and connection. Preaches when needed, recognizing that while teaching is important, the primary role is shaping and leading the overall Sunday experience.

• Administratively Gifted

Understands how ministry systems and processes function together and creates, refines, and maintains clear, repeatable workflows. Effectively utilizes Church Community Builder (CCB) to track attendance, manage volunteer scheduling, monitor engagement metrics, and oversee follow-up processes.
