The successful candidate will also be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading of the youth in Biblical teaching, discipleship, and worship for the youth in their care.

Research resources and make recommendations for developing and improving the youth ministry programming.

Maintain accurate records of youth participation and follow up with students whose youth attendance has dropped. Develop and oversee youth ministry policies and procedures ensuring the safety of students, staff, and volunteers. Manage, compile, and execute a youth ministry program budget for reporting purposes. Communicate with church leadership, staff, parents, and congregation in a timely manner utilizing available resources (email, social media, call/text, bulletin, newsletter, posters, etc.).
