About this role
### The Opportunity
Founded by Richard J. Foster in 1988, Renovaré (Latin: to renew) advocates, resources, and models fullness of life with God. Our mission is beautifully simple: to help people become more like Jesus.
As a new and adaptive way of fulfilling this mission, Renovaré launched the Churches in Renewal initiative in 2024 to support and connect churches that want to prioritize spiritual formation as the organizing principle of their congregational life. This initiative aims to ground, engage, and unite congregations in spiritual renewal—understanding it and experiencing it—so that they can be a radiant embodiment of Jesus Christ in their communities.

### Here's what we're building:
It’s common for a church to stall out in the shallows of discipleship, for pastors and leaders to feel lonely or stuck, for local congregations—even those with a solid grounding and clear mission—to become divided or distracted by secondary things. It happens to the best.
What these churches and pastors and leaders need isn’t a new program or a perfect five-year plan. They need real ties to other Christians who gently call one another back to Jesus, their First Love, and remind one another why local church is worth the work. They need a human connection to the capital-C Church that transcends denomination and renews Kingdom imagination. They need a forum where they can ask hard questions, hear wise perspectives, and discern Spirit-led strategies in the company of peers and mentors.
Over the next 3 years we want to create spiritual formation ecosystems in 5-8 hub cities across the United States—places like Atlanta, Denver, Kansas City, Seattle, and beyond—where clusters of churches from diverse denominations, ethnicities, and socioeconomic contexts come together for renewal. Simultaneously, we're launching a national Church Network connecting 200+ congregations who want to learn how we Jesus do our church, and together normalize the counterculture way of life with God...
