Overview
The Director of Youth Ministries is a full-time staff position serving the Mason County Reformed Church (MCRC), a church located near the lakeshore in northern Michigan and just east of the city of Ludington in the community of Scottville, MI. MCRC is affiliated with the Synod of the Great Lakes of the Reformed Church in America. MCRC is a multi-generational and diverse congregation of approximately 320 members with a total Sunday morning attendance fluctuating seasonally between 300 and 500.
Of utmost importance, the Director of Youth Ministries (DYM) must have a growing and loving relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and a burning desire to share this relationship with the youth, their respective parents, and the community in which they live.
Although the Director of Children’s Ministries (DCM) is responsible for the nursery through 5 th grade children’s program, the DYM will work closely as a team with the DCM to develop and maintain a cohesive plan and transitional model for preschool through 12 th grade. This plan and model will complement and enhance each other’s programs (GEMS and CADETS), teach Biblical principles and truths, and together help prepare our youth for maturity and leadership as Christian adults.
The DYM will, with the recommendation and support of the Youth Ministry Team (YMT*), lead in the development, coordination, oversight, evaluation, and staffing of youth ministry areas from 6 th through 12 th grade.

This will be accomplished through an emphasis on mentoring, encouragement, acceptance, and modeling Biblical principles in real-life situations.
*YMT is comprised primarily of 5-10 gifted individuals with a passion for MCRC youth. In most cases, these individuals volunteer their time for the ministry. There is no set term for serving. However, one can expect some turnover on an annual basis. The purpose of this team is to come alongside the DYM to provide input for programming, training, etc. and support the DYM in any way possible. It is not a supervisory board.
Requirements

Previous experience within church ministry, specifically in the area of youth preferred.
A passion for young people and personal skills to help them grow in their relationship with Christ.

Be available on Sunday mornings to answer questions and connect with students and parents, and attend at least one of the two Sunday morning adult worship services.
Encourage youth, by example, to serve at one service and attend the other in order to grow in a faith that is their own, helping them through “real-life” application to transition into adulthood.
Under the direction of the Pastor of Leadership and Teaching, establish ministry goals and objectives, plan and follow an appropriate budget, delegate tasks, and evaluate personal and organizational progress regularly.
Stay current with youth ministry practices by reading and attending youth ministry conferences.
Possess strong communication and teaching skills that can be effectively used in large and small group settings at both the Middle School and High School levels.
