Description


FBC Fairview Heights is looking for a part-time student ministry director. This position is designed to be about 12-15 hours per week and is prioritized to grow as the ministry grows. The expected salary range will be $16k-$20k depending on education & experience.

Main Duties & Responsibilities

Sunday Morning & Evening

  • Ensure that Sunday morning Life Groups are staffed and that teachers are equipped with the curriculum and resources needed
  • Participate in the worship service as needed (announcements, prayer time, occasional preaching opportunities)
  • Develop and lead a Sunday evening discipleship class Wednesday Evening
  • Launch (this has been a dormant time/activity at FBC) a midweek Bible study or worship service for students

Events & Activities

  • Goal is to put together one activity a month (fellowship, mission project, hangout, etc.)
  • Plan and execute summer camp each summer, including recruiting chaperones (we have recently started going to Crossings Camps in Kentucky)
  • Help out with church-wide missions and ministries (Fall Car Show, VBS during summer, Easter, church-wide fellowships, etc.)

This position is not required to attend our Tuesday staff meeting if their schedule (classes or other employment) doesn’t allow, but is expected to have a weekly check-in meeting (in person or digitally) with the Lead Pastor. If a candidate wishes to get experience preaching, the Lead Pastor will gladly allow those opportunities to grow. If a candidate wishes to expand ministry capacity, the Lead Pastor will gladly mentor & let the student director shadow on pastoral care, hospital visits, and leadership meetings. This position automatically has a seat on our ReFocus Team and Leadership Team which have monthly Sunday afternoon meetings. If a student ministry director wishes to, and meets the qualifications of an elder/pastor in 1 Timothy 3, ordination is certainly an option. If a candidate is already ordained to ministry, this would become an Associate Pastor for Student Ministry and the pastor would be eligible to designate part of their salary as a housing allowance.

Salary: $0-$29K

Requirements


Born again believer in Jesus Christ

Calling to vocational ministry, particularly student ministry

Able to affirm FBC’s statement of faith (Baptist Faith & Message 2000)

Humble, teachable, relational
