Student Pastor

Who we are…

Mercy Hill Church exists to exalt Jesus by demonstrating his love and telling his story to

our neighbors and the nations. Staff members at Mercy Hill lead by making disciples

and equipping leaders to make disciples. We want to lead our church to be transformed

by the gospel, rooted in community, living on mission, and multiplying disciples.

Who we are looking for…

The Bible is clear that we have a vital responsibility to pass down our faith to the next

generation (Deut. 6:4-9). Investing in students by caring, teaching, loving, and praying is

a crucial aspect of our mission to make disciples. We are looking for a Student Pastor to

lead the charge in making disciples of the next generation. We believe a disciple is a

lifelong apprentice of Jesus Christ who is growing as a worshiper, servant, and

missionary. We want a leader who has a heart for Jesus and longs to see Him be made

more famous among middle school and high school students. We are also looking for a

student pastor who will work well with both parents and volunteer leaders to equip our

students.
