Student Pastor
The Student Pastor at Grace will oversee weekly student worship experiences with the aim of developing and inspiring students to live out their faith in our church and our community.
Do you have a desire to reach young people, especially young people who don’t normally go to church? Do you think church should be a place that young people enjoy? Are you teachable, with a heart to serve? Are you looking for a place to cultivate your passions and talents while you lead others to become fully growing followers of Christ? Grace might be just the place for you. If you join the staff at our church, you won’t simply be a cog in a machine, you will be an integral part of our culture. We’ll empower you to lead, but give you the support you need. We’ll value your input in every area of our church and consider you part of our team. Most of all, we’ll enjoy growing alongside you as we follow Jesus together.
Grace Student Ministry exists to lead students 7th-12th grade into a fully growing friendship with Jesus. By teaching God’s truth and understanding our community and culture, staff and volunteer leaders develop relationships with students during weekly worship experiences, small groups, serving opportunities and activities.
This include worship and teaching time, as well as small groups and games in our dedicated student area.
