Job Summary

Description

We’re looking for candidates who possess a strong and active personal faith, demonstrate a proactive and innovative approach to ministry with a vision for growth and development, and who connect effectively with teens and their families. The church does not have a vision for a mega-church youth ministry but rather one that builds deep connections that allow all involved to grow in their spiritual foundation and support their lifetime of Christian faith.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee the creation and implementation of engaging spiritual formation programs for 6th-12th graders, with the goal of increasing spiritual growth and participation.
  • Recruit, train, and support a strong team of volunteers.
  • Build strong relationships between students, and between students and volunteers, in a safe environment.
  • Develop relationships with students and families by attending student events and encouraging volunteers to do the same.
  • Create welcoming and engaging spaces for youth ministry activities.
  • Build relationships in the community within the schools and other ministries in the community.
  • Build and maintain effective systems for communication, database management, calendaring, event planning, and other essential ministry functions.
  • Partner with other areas of ministry in the church. Will have additional responsibilities in digital communication in support of all areas of ministries.

Desired Skills

  • Passion and calling for ministering to youth and their families.
  • Vibrant Christian faith and understanding of the Methodist tradition.
  • Ability to relate to youth in a fun and approachable way, while maintaining appropriate boundaries.
  • Entrepreneurial and innovative mindset for creating engaging ministry opportunities.
  • Bachelor’s degree – preferred in Christian ministry, education, or related field.
  • Experience with digital media to support communication.
