Religious | Presbyterian Church in America
Full-Time
Posted: Oct 19, 2020
Application Deadline: Feb 19, 2021
Description
The ideal candidate may come from any number of backgrounds: an experienced youth pastor, a school teacher who has mentored youth and interacted with parents over their teens, a lay leader who has demonstrated fruitfulness in shepherding adults and youth, or an ordained pastor whose calling is to invest in youth and families. We are willing to think outside of the typical “youth pastor box” in order to identify a candidate whom God has used to disciple and shepherd youth and adults and equip other leaders. Our compensation goals support the strategic value of this position within the pastoral/shepherding team here at GRC. We seek to invest in this position for the long-term, rather than treat this position as a stepping stone toward a future calling.

o Implement vision for youth ministry (grades 6 - 12)
o Collaborate with youth ministry team and pastoral/Session leadership team
o Actively shepherd youth parents to support/equip them in the discipleship of their children
o Recruit and equip youth leaders
o Oversee Sunday School ministry, including curriculum and teaching team
o Schedule and coordinate efforts related to weekly New Life Fridays (youth meeting)
o Oversee communication with youth families and youth leaders
o Invest in individual and small group time with youth students
o Coordinate annual efforts including the winter youth retreat and summer youth missions efforts
Overall Young Adults Leadership:
o Implement vision for reaching, discipling, and integrating young adults into the life of the church and its mission
o Encourage and facilitate rich community among young adults through meals and recreational events, in addition to fostering inter-generational connections with GRC members in other stages of life.
o Invest in individual and small group time with young adults
Salary: Undisclosed
