The mission of our Director of Student Ministries is to lead a strong ministry team that focuses on introducing students to Jesus, discipling them towards a consistent, growing walk with Christ, and helping them to embody the transforming love of Jesus in each of their relationships.
The ideal candidate for staff at GS is self-motivated, kind, flexible, humble, organized, trustworthy, proactive. Experience is a must. We are looking for someone to be here for the long haul.
This person will be responsible for a staff that includes a 30 hour/wk associate, a 15 hour/wk admin, and 3 full time summer interns, who all help to run a ministry that runs 50+ on Sunday morning and 100+ on Wednesday evenings.
A little bit about us:
Our church mission is to embody the transforming love of Jesus in every relationship. For students, we add the phrase “by setting an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” (1 Tim 4:12)
