Student Minister

Job Description

The Opportunity:

The Elders of City Church have determined that it is time to hire a Student Minister to join the existing staff of three pastors. Since it’s launch, City Church has had a vibrant student ministry. There is a great team of volunteers who have taken the calling to disciple students seriously and our church has a strong presence in the lives of students in our city. The elders recognize that the growth of our student ministry now requires a shepherd who can devote his full attention to partnering with parents and building relationships with students. This is an opportunity to step into a church where a great support team exists. This is also an opportunity to step into a community where the church has a great reputation of caring for students well. Finally, this is an opportunity to proclaim the good news of Christ’s unconditional love to some amazing students who are unfortunately often told by the world that they are loved because of the way they perform. The harvest is ready! As the City Church Student Minister you will have the opportunity to teach in both large and small group settings. You will also have periodic opportunities to preach in Sunday morning gatherings. City Church is passionate about church planting and sending. This is an opportunity to be trained and mobilized for future ministry. If you love students and desire to grow in your ministry calling this is a perfect fit for you.
