Expressions of Interest
Applications close on September 20, 2026
As we prepare to move our Sunday gatherings to the Melbourne Town Hall, we are praying for a renewed season of gospel growth in the heart of our city – for more people to know Jesus, grow as disciples and join in his mission.
This next chapter will bring new opportunities to expand the City on a Hill Melbourne staff team. We are inviting expressions of interest from experienced people who believe their character, calling and capabilities could contribute to the life and mission of our church.
You may have experience in vocational ministry, theological training and church leadership, or relevant experience in another field that could transfer meaningfully into ministry. If you love Jesus and his church, are aligned with City on a Hill’s mission and vision, and feel drawn to making Jesus known in Melbourne, we would love to hear from you.
This is not an application for a particular position, but an opportunity to begin a conversation about vocational ministry roles that may emerge in the future.
We are praying that God will raise up gospel-hearted men and women for this next chapter – people of conviction, character and capability who are ready to bring their experience, leadership and gifts to join us in reaching Melbourne with the beauty, truth and relevance of Jesus.
If that possibility stirs something in you, we would love to hear your story.
Church Planting Resident
Applications close on
Our Church Planting Residency is our primary pathway for raising up new church planters. A Church Planting Resident will be someone seriously considering the call to plant a City on a Hill church. They must be committed to the gospel and to our mission of knowing Jesus and making Jesus known. Inspired by the great commission, a Church Planting Resident will be both trained and tested over a 12-24 month program that equips them to plant a City on a Hill church.
This program includes a staffed position at one of the City on a Hill local churches, allowing the Resident to learn the culture and values of City on a Hill from the inside. While overseeing a particular portfolio at a local church, they will also engage in church planting specific training geared toward empowering them to be a Lead Pastor of a future City on a Hill church.
The hope is that our residents plant a new City on a Hill church at the conclusion of the residency. On occasion, the residency may reveal that a different leadership opportunity is better suited for them.
The Church Planting Resident will report to their local Lead Pastor while being supported by the Church Planting Pastor. They will work collaboratively with their local church staff team, and as part of the Movement staff team. The Church Planting Resident is a paid role, with full-time or part-time opportunities available for consideration.
