Job description
The Opportunity
We are searching for a faithful, hard-working Youth Director to lead our Youth Ministry (Grades 7-12) and to support God’s work in all of our NextGen ministries under the oversight of our Equipping Pastor.
Our Church
We exist to preserve and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to make mature disciples of all nations for the glory of God. Since 2009, we have faithfully proclaimed the Good News of Jesus to thousands of people, and have had the privilege of discipling many of those through our classes, small groups, and ministry programs. While it is difficult to summarize our church in a few brief statements, we are:
Faithful, seeking to honor God and obey His Word in everything we do
Committed, both to God and to one another as members of the body of Christ
Healthy, enjoying unity and peace among our leaders and members
Growing, with over 200 adult members and 325 in average weekly attendance
Young, ministering to scores of families with children at home and over 100 college students
Invested, making significant financial contributions toward staffing, facilities, and programming
Hopeful, especially as we envision a future where the growing number of 7th-12th grade students are pursued and discipled by a faithful, hard-working Youth Director
