SBC Megachurch Posts Job For Pastor Who Can Meet With and ‘Cast-Vision’ For Mega-Tithers
According to its own website, “Rock Bridge Community Church was planted in 2002 by Matt Evans, his wife, Beth, and a core team of people who saw the need for a new kind of church. They dreamed of a church that would reach the lost, the broken, the de-churched, and the spiritually wounded people of the greater Dalton, GA area.”
16 years later, Rock Bridge is a contemporary multi-site church serving Northwest Georgia and the Tennessee Valley. Currently, around 4000 people attend one of Rock Bridge’s six campuses each weekend.
In a job posting for the role of campus pastor, along with job descriptions like “Lead the campus staff, focusing on their leadership development and ministry excellence” and “Ensure each campus staff team member has an annual success plan focused on their growth as a leader and disciple,” one stood out to us:
“Meet with 2 high-capacity givers monthly to seek feedback and cast vision.”
Showing partially to someone because of how much money he can give is a sin. Rock Bridge has codified this sinful activity as a part of its pastoral job responsibilities, and this is plainly wicked. This isn’t encouraging cheerful giving (2 Corinthians 9:6-7), it’s making sure big spenders get their money’s worth. This isn’t shepherding the flock of God; it’s customer relationship management. This isn’t church, it’s business.
This “campus pastor” job description is a lot more reminiscent of a “VP of Sales” job description. “Casting Vision” is another way of saying, “Get people to see our goal and buy into it.” It’s best not to waste time doing this with little fish. It’s the whales who drive the bottom line.
At Rock Bridge, you are a whale.
Wouldn’t you rather just be a sheep in the flock of the Lord Jesus Christ?
And don’t you think that low-capacity givers could have valuable feedback, too? Don’t they deserve pastoral attention just as much as the wealthy? Doesn’t the Holy Spirit gift them just as generously? Doesn’t Jesus love them just the same?
Rock Bridge loves your money. If this appeals to you, you’re right where you belong because you probably love having influence, being seen, and a having seat at the head of the table (Matthew 23:6)

Well, that’s a little embarrassing…
It makes one want to know who these “high-capacity givers” are and their agenda…
Wrong picture. The church pictured is not Rock Bridge, it’s not Baptist, and it’s not in Georgia.
Speaking of embarrassing, the photo is not of the church in the article. You owe an apology for slandering the church in the photo.
Still the wrong picture and you know it. Whassup?
