Youth Pastor

Indian Creek Baptist Church is located in Mill Run, in the beautiful mountains of southwestern Pennsylvania. The church has been in existence for over 180 years, by God’s faithfulness. We are a rural, family-oriented church. Our church represents the multi-generational families here and others who are newer to our community, and our attendance is spread over all age groups, averaging 130 each Sunday. God has given us the blessing of supporting multiple ministries that strengthen our Body and reach our community. We are a conservative American Baptist Church.

We are looking for a Youth Pastor who can pick up where our previous Youth Pastor left off. We have an established youth group of 10-20 with a core group of about 10 students. Come and connect with our kids, as we would like to increase our impact within our community and reach more youth with the message of Christ. We are anticipating God bringing us the man He has prepared for our church!
