We are looking to hire a full-time pastor to work with our student (grades 7-12) and Worship ministry. This person will be part of a ministry team that includes two full-time pastors, a part time children's ministry director, and part time administrator. 

Our ideal candidate should be a man who is committed to the authority and proclamation of God’s Word, who is able to lead and disciple others in their commitment to the Lord. The position requires the ability to handle two areas of ministry, giving approximately 60% of the allotted time to youth ministry and 40% to worship/music ministry. This will mean our candidate must be able to recruit help and delegate responsibilities effectively. Our preference is for someone who is married, but we will also consider qualified single candidates, and we are looking for someone who has formal ministry training and pertinent experience in both youth and music ministry. Our desire is to have a third ordained pastoral staff member, so if the candidate is not yet ordained, we hope to do so in the future. Therefore, we are looking for one who is able to fulfill the pastor/elder requirements of 1 Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9.

As it pertains to youth ministry, our ideal candidate should be able to build and maintain relationships with the students, and develop both teen and adult leaders. We desire for someone who can make connections in the community and in the schools, who has a passion for outreach, and who will build relationships with the other youth pastors in town. The candidate should be able to maintain an active and spiritually focused youth ministry. Our student ministries currently use Word of Life curriculum, which has proven to be a valuable asset. 

As it pertains to the music ministry, our ideal candidate should have a strong stage presence, the ability to sing well (the ability to lead on an instrument is not necessary, but would be helpful), be able to lead in energetic, vibrant, and theologically sound worship, continue building and equipping our praise team, and either lead the choir or work with volunteer leaders to provide that ministry opportunity for vocalists in the church. The ideal candidate should also be able to provide oversight and management of music, sound, and media ministries, including scheduling and training as needed, even if he is not directly involved in the weekly operations.

Our candidate must be faithful, teachable, a team player, and willing to not only work in the church, but embrace the church as a family and community.

This position carries a salary, insurance, paid vacation time, sick time, and comp time when appropriate.
