Why Shandon?
At Shandon UMC, you'll serve alongside a supportive staff and committed volunteers while making a lasting difference in the lives of students. You'll have opportunities to lead, innovate, and help young people develop a lifelong faith.
Ministry isn't a typical 9-to-5, and neither is this role. You'll spend your time where ministry happens: with students, families, volunteers, and church leaders through weekly programming, Sunday gatherings, retreats, missions, and special events.
