Student Ministry Co-Director Job Description – Guys
STUDENT MINISTRY INTERN
About us: Our church is an 1800-member EPC church with a thriving student ministry that seeks to present every student with the good news of Jesus. At our core is a growing team of 50 adult volunteers who love and disciple the students in our community on a weekly basis.
The plan: We’ve created a “Student Ministries Intern” at Signal Pres who will be full-time staff who follows a two-year plan. Think of it as an “apprenticeship” in student ministry: learning the unique phases of MS and HS Ministry; the essentials of developing leaders, fostering volunteer and student relationships, developing program environments, and lovingly discipling middle and high school students for faith in Christ. This position is a partnership between us and RYM.
The goal: To be prepared after two years to leave and lead a student ministry or move into another position as God calls. One of our enduring values as a church is generational investment: welcoming the next generation for the sake of God’s kingdom. We envision this as a tremendous opportunity for us to welcome and invest in someone who wants to start out in student ministry and/or explore serving Christ on church staff – all the while loved and mentored in community.
To apply: please send an email to Craig Baker (Chairman, Search Committee) with two attachments: an updated resume and a one-page response that includes three short answers:
- Share a paragraph describing your personal faith in Jesus Christ and how it impacts your life;
- Share a paragraph why you are applying to work in ministry to students and families, and what you hope you gain from the intern experience;
- Share a paragraph that tells us a bit about yourself: might be strengths, gifts, hobbies, personality, dreams, etc.
