A Wonderfully Messy Opportunity Awaits You!

What’s the opportunity? To direct and guide our ministry to 7th-12th grade students that strives to invite them into a biblical community to become transformed, Christ-centered, relational, and passionate disciples of Jesus that will succeed in making the transition from maturing Christian students to maturing Christian adults.

A few details: You will be partnering with a congregation of over 250 people and a ministry team of nearly 20 volunteers who are passionate about developing the foundational habits and relationships in the lives of our youth that will create a sustaining and growing relationship with Jesus. This is a full-time position with benefits.

It’s relational! You’ll be shepherding, coordinating and collaborating with the complex and fluid mix of people - students, volunteers, parents, and congregation – that embody our Jr/Sr High ministry to provide a context in which our students can “acquire a taste for grace” (per Eugene Peterson).

A few details: We have over 50 students that are participating in the life and ministry of our church on a weekly basis. We have students that remain on the fringe. We are passionate about reaching them ALL – whether they attend our programs or not!

Personal and professional skills we’d like to see you bring to this position include:

• A personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and to His Church.
• Solid working knowledge of Scripture with the ability to articulate the story of the Bible, as well as your own faith story.
• Being a disciple of Christ relying upon God’s word and Spirit-led prayer for discernment and decision-making.
• Ability to relate to students as a mentor and servant leader.
• Good organizational skills and ability to facilitate programs to completion.
• Possess good communication, encouragement, and conflict resolution skills.
• Four year college degree is preferred
• Background and/or experience in education or ministry desired.
• A minimum of 4-5 years experience in youth ministry with 2-3 years of that experience in a leadership position.
