Associate Pastor of Youth Ministry

Overview:

Redeemer Christian Church’s mission is to save the lost and together become disciples of Christ. We invite pastoral candidates with a similar ministry vision to consider applying prayerfully. Redeemer Christian Church started as the English ministry of the Korean Christian Church and became our own independent church in late 2025. We are a congregation of about 120 members, with roughly 100 attending on Sundays.  

We are seeking an Associate Pastor to serve alongside our Lead Pastor. The primary focus area of this position will be the RCC Youth Ministry which is composed of 6th through 12th grade students and serves both the RCC and KCC congregations.

The ideal candidate for this position is a spiritually mature man/woman of God who has a passion for seeing whole families integrate faith into everything they do. They must love teens and desire to partner with their parents to see faith flourish in the lives of both. The church is becoming increasingly diverse from its Korean background. Therefore, English is the only language requirement for this role, but some familiarity with Korean is a plus.
