You’ll thrive in this role if you’re energized by helping every student feel known and valued, enjoy building teams rather than carrying ministry on your own, and believe some of the most meaningful discipleship happens in everyday conversations as much as in organized programs. You’ll see parents as trusted ministry partners, create spaces where students can ask honest questions and grow in their faith, and appreciate serving alongside a supportive staff and congregation that genuinely believes in the importance of investing in the next generation.
ASBURY IS KNOWN FOR BEING A CHURCH WHERE PEOPLE BELONG.
Hospitality isn’t just something we talk about—it’s part of our culture. Visitors are welcomed genuinely. People of all abilities are intentionally included. We care deeply about those on the margins and work hard to ensure everyone has a place in our community.
We’re also a church that serves. Local missions, community partnerships, VBS, youth mission experiences, and outreach aren’t occasional events—they’re part of who we are.
Students don’t just show up on Sundays. They grow in community throughout the week, ask honest questions, study Scripture together, laugh together, serve together, and build lasting friendships. Parents consistently describe Asbury as a place where young people can be themselves while growing into who God created them to be.
Located in North Shelby County, just minutes from downtown Birmingham, this area provides access to everything the region has to offer—from a nationally recognized food scene and vibrant arts and music culture to SEC athletics, world-class healthcare, and abundant outdoor recreation. With a relatively affordable cost of living and a growing population of young professionals and families, the Birmingham area offers an exceptional quality of life and a welcoming place to build both a career in ministry and a life beyond it.
Birmingham offers the charm of a close-knit community with the energy of a growing metropolitan area. Known for its walkable neighborhoods, highly rated schools, locally owned restaurants and coffee shops, and beautiful parks, it’s a place where people know their neighbors and families put down roots. Whether you’re grabbing dinner downtown, exploring nearby trails, or cheering on local sports, there’s a strong sense of community that makes it easy to feel at home.
