At Grace Community Fellowship we are a movement that was planted in Marion County
Kansas to reach the unchurched. Our vision is to be a church that is known for passionately
pursuing the lost at all cost. With around 11,000 people in our community, only around
2,000-2,500 attend church, meaning there is around 8,000-9,000 people that have not
experienced the life changing truth of Jesus. In order to reach the many unchurched in our
community we feel it is time to pursue hiring a full-time student pastor.
The student pastor will oversee all student ministry activities at the church and serve as a
member of the pastoral team. While leading the students of Grace, one of the primary
functions of this role will be to be a leader that builds a student ministry from the ground up.
Right now in our county there are over 700+ students that have no connection to a church. The
student pastor that is hired will be challenged to reach the 700+ with the message of Jesus.
Currently between the Jr. and Sr. High ministry we have 20-25 students. We know there is alot
of room for growth both numerically and spiritually. If you feel like you would be a good
candidate for this position of growth focused, please email us your resume!
In this position the student pastor will also have other job responsibilities as it pertains to the
ministry as a whole.
Key Responsibilities:
-Creating a relational culture in student ministries that is outreach-orientated and that meets
the developmental stages of middle school and high school students.
-Leading a weekly student ministry night where the focus is on two things bringing students to
Jesus and building them in that relationship with him.
-Planing and hosting 6-8 outreach nights a year.
-Relating to student in their level to where they are confident and comfortable with you.
-Investing and equipping a leadership team.
-Pursuing a ministry presence at local Middle Schools and High Schools. Part of this means a
weekly expectation that the student pastor will attend games, eat lunches, and spend time with
student that are in the community.
-Using programming and resources that are creative, excellent, biblical, and
encourage students to take their next steps (essentially discipleship). We understand that this
does not have to be a cookie cutter approach (discipleship may mean small groups after your
weekly message or on the basketball court after a ball game).
-Covering administrative duties at the church as we continue to grow in various areas.
-Preach on Sunday mornings when the Lead Pastor is off.
-Create/edit content for social media and graphic designs for communications.
