This full-time position offers the opportunity to develop, create, and lead a meaningful student ministry while laying the foundation for a growing young adult ministry. The primary focus of this role is leading middle school and high school students through biblical teaching, discipleship, leadership development, and outreach. As the student ministry grows, the Director will also have the opportunity to cultivate ministry among college students and young adults by creating environments where they can build authentic community, grow in their faith, and remain connected to the life of the church. The ideal candidate is both a visionary and a relational leader, someone who loves investing in the next generation, teaches God's Word faithfully, equips volunteers, and is excited to help students and young adults become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ. Qualifications A growing and vibrant personal relationship with Jesus Christ, evidenced by spiritual maturity, integrity, and a heart for discipleship. A clear call to ministry with students and the next generation. Full agreement with the doctrine, mission, and values of First Methodist Church San Angelo and the Global Methodist Church. Bachelor's degree desired; degree in ministry, theology, education, or a related field preferred. Experience leading student ministry or a related ministry in a church setting preferred. Demonstrated ability to teach and communicate God's Word in a biblically faithful, engaging, and applicable way. Proven ability to recruit, equip, and lead volunteers while cultivating healthy ministry teams. Strong relational skills with students, parents, volunteers, and church staff. Excellent organizational, communication, and administrative abilities. A self-starter who is comfortable building and growing ministry, developing systems, and taking initiative. A heart for reaching students who are not yet connected to a church and helping them become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. A desire to invest in college students and young adults by helping create opportunities for continued discipleship beyond high school. Ability to work collaboratively under the leadership of the Senior Pastor and as part of a unified staff. Ability to successfully complete all required background checks and comply with the church's child protection policies.
