Youth/Worship Minister

This position will oversee both the Family and Worship ministries. The emphasis will be on the Family ministry, which includes maintaining a discipleship culture where children and students (Birth thru 12th grade) become dedicated followers of Jesus as serving members of First Baptist Church. This involves becoming a partner with the parents of our children and students providing resources and support that encourage them to take the lead in discipling their own children. This role also oversees the Wednesday night children and student programs by leading a team of dedicated volunteers.

Secondarily, it would be a plus if the candidate could oversee and lead our worship ministry. This will involve spending 5-10 hours per week leading rehearsals with a highly skilled praise team, selecting songs in collaboration with the Senior Pastor, utilizing and maintaining Planning Center for scheduling, and leading worship during all church worship services.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a continued program of personal growth and study as a minister of the gospel showing evidence of consistent personal Bible study and prayer as well as taking advantage of personal growth tools such as books, podcasts, and sermons. This person will need to be personally involved in the lives of students and their parents by regularly attending extra-curricular activities and social events, visiting them in their homes, and spending individual time, as appropriate, with them. This person should set a Christ-like example in life and conduct, be above reproach in all areas of life, demonstrate godly marriage, if married, participate in the life and activities of FBC as a faithful member, be a valuable part of the ministry team, be punctual, hardworking, flexible, and helpful to all other staff.

First Baptist Church of Dalhart is a Southern Baptist congregation committed to glorifying God through the proclamation of His Word, the advancement of the gospel, and the making of disciples of Jesus Christ. We believe the local church is called to be a faithful, Christ-centered community where God's people gather to worship, grow in their faith, serve one another, and carry the hope of the gospel into the world.

Our ministry is built upon a commitment to biblical preaching and teaching, intentional discipleship, evangelism, and missions. We desire to see individuals and families grow in their knowledge of God's Word, develop a deeper love for Christ, and live out their faith in their homes, church, community, and beyond. We recognize the importance of strengthening families and equipping believers of every generation to faithfully follow Christ.

Located in the Texas Panhandle, we have a heart for Dalhart and the surrounding communities. We desire to be a church that faithfully serves its neighbors, supports the work of missions locally and globally, and makes disciples who make disciples.

We are committed to the authority of Scripture, the centrality of the gospel, the importance of the local church, and the Great Commission. Our prayer is to be a faithful presence in our community, a place where people encounter the truth and grace of Jesus Christ, and a congregation that seeks to make much of Christ in all that we do.
