Youth Pastor

University Baptist Church (UBC) in Waco, Texas is seeking a 20-hour per week Youth Pastor who will promote UBC’s Mission by overseeing all areas of student ministry (6th-12th grade). Through their participation in church life and community, and in collaboration with the pastoral staff, Leadership Team, and families of UBC, the Youth Pastor facilitates the spiritual formation and education of our middle school and high school students. They will work to ensure that students encounter the love and welcome of Jesus Christ in safe, creative, and lasting ways. The Youth Pastor will provide meaningful opportunities for students to grow, learn, and experience Christ in community. UBC’s contemporary worship model does not see a division between the sacred and the secular, and seeks to approach God through creative liturgies and artistic expressions. UBC is a medium-sized, inclusive church that is fully affirming of women in ministry and the LGBTQIA+ community. The Youth Pastor will report directly to the Lead Pastor.

UBC, a Cooperative Baptist and Association of Welcoming and Affirming Baptists-affiliated church, is a progressive community of people who are seeking to understand who we are and who God is in the light of God's love. We welcome questions, doubts, and exploration of all kinds. Our liturgical style is ancient/future; we root ourselves in Church history and tradition while imagining what modern liturgy can look like. We are a creative, open, congregation who fully affirms that women and LGBTQIA+ persons can serve in any role in the Church to which they are called.
