Are You Transitioning Out of Military Chaplaincy? We’d Love to Talk.
After years of serving those who serve, you know what it means to minister across traditions,
care for people in their hardest moments, and build community where it doesn’t naturally exist.
That’s exactly the kind of pastor The Church at Litchfield Park is looking for.
We are a historic interdenominational congregation in Litchfield Park, Arizona — in the heart of
the West Valley of Phoenix, just minutes from Luke Air Force Base. Founded in 1939, we have
deep and longstanding ties to the military community, and a significant number of our
congregation are active duty, veterans, and retired military families.
Our mission is simple and our commitment to it is deep: “A House of Prayer for All People,
called to be as inclusive as the love of God. Together we Grow in our Faith, Serve in Christ’s
Love, and Engage in God’s Mission.”
If you’ve spent your career ministering to people of different faiths, traditions, and backgrounds,
you already live this mission.
What we are looking for:
● An ordained minister with a heart for inclusive, cross-traditional pastoral leadership
● Someone with strong preaching, pastoral care, and community-building gifts
● A person who sees the West Valley of Phoenix as a place to put down roots and serve
for the long term
Why Litchfield Park: The West Valley is one of the fastest growing communities in the country,
with a warm, welcoming culture and a strong sense of civic identity. If you’ve been stationed at
Luke AFB or spent time in the Southwest, you already know what a special place this is to live.
We understand that transitioning out of the chaplain corps is a significant moment — spiritually,
professionally, and personally. We would welcome a confidential conversation with any chaplain
who feels drawn to this kind of ministry, whether you are actively in transition or beginning to
look toward the future. We have been blessed to have an Air Force chaplain as an Associate
Pastor in the past.
