College & Young Adult Ministry Associate

“Hope Co.” is the college and young adult ministry of Living Hope Baptist Church in Bowling Green, KY. We have experienced a tremendous amount of growth in the past few years and we are looking for a young man to join our team to assist with outreach, discipleship, and leadership development. The focus of this position is to evangelize, establish, and export young men as leaders in the church and world, but also includes opportunities to teach God’s Word, lead teams of volunteers, and develop ministry plans. This team member will spend the bulk of their ministry time engaging with students on the campus of Western Kentucky University, discipling young men, and caring for our student leaders. We’d like to hire someone who has some experience with college and young adult ministry, but who would also like to be trained as a pastor in the context of a local church. If this opportunity is something you’d like to explore, please email hr@lhbg.org with your questions or attach a resume to begin the application process!

The story of a local church, like Living Hope, occurs at the intersection of God’s holy faithfulness, His eternal gospel purposes in Christ, and His people. It happens in a specific place and time, and advances under His sovereign direction. It is flavored by prayer, tears, risk, joy, miracles, hard work, changed lives…and hope.

In June of 1976, after much prayer and deliberation, twenty-six believers in Bowling Green sensed the calling of God to give themselves to pass the baton of faith to the next generation and to aggressively and creatively pursue the spread of Jesus’ gospel to spiritually lost people in their community and among the nations. This small group went out from Forest Park Baptist Church to band together in the formation of Living Hope Baptist Church.

Nearly 50 years later, we are continuing to see evidence of God's hand of blessing on our church as we are seeing people make professions of faith in Jesus Christ, take steps of obedience in following Him, and being a light to the world. We are a multi-campus, multi-site church that is passionate about preaching God's Word, helping people form Biblical community, and making disciples of all nations.
