JOB SUMMARY

The Youth Ministry Associate Director will work in partnership with our Youth Ministry Director and Youth Ministry Administrative Lead to champion our growing youth ministry initiatives; providing a safe place for our middle and high school students to learn to “Love God, Love People and Keep Christ at the Center.” Storyhill Church believes in the importance of having youth group spaces where students’ faith can grow alongside peers, leaders and other adults allowing a safe place for their questions and their authentic selves. Additionally, we value curating opportunities for each middle and high school student to know that they belong to our church family and that their role in our church is not relegated to merely joining “youth group” events. We are looking for someone who can build upon this churchwide vision of youth ministry, which involves helping to implement and lead existing program elements as well as collaborating well with other ministry area leads, parents and volunteers within our ministry. The ideal candidate will possess a Christ-like love for teenagers, a heart for discipling them in their spiritual walk, and a deep appreciation for the vital role the local church—such as Storyhill Church—plays in helping young people grow in their faith and remain rooted in Christ into their 20s and beyond. Ideally, the candidate envisions staying in this role for 3-5 years to ensure consistent leadership.
