Salem has a long-standing commitment to future generations. The youth group is a safe environment with a vibrant culture, consisting of 100+ students who come from various cultural and ethnic backgrounds, attending public, private, or home school, and 30+ volunteers who love investing in students. Currently, middle and high school students are combined, meeting once a week, with events throughout the year. At the heart of the ministry there are small groups. While not required, leaders are encouraged to start in 7th grade and rise all the way through 12th grade to promote healthy, deep, and lasting disciple making relationships. Serving and missions have also been a strong emphasis as a church, creating ample opportunities for youth to work alongside other ministries to strengthen our local, national, and global partnerships. Across the board, this is a fun, diverse group of students who are eager to meet their next pastor!

The candidate will need to be highly relational, humble, and a competent listener, encourager, leader, teacher, recruiter, team builder, communicator, & collaborator. Ideally, this person would also bring some executive ministry experience.
