Job Description:

Applicants for the position of High School Pastor should be spiritually mature individuals with a proven record of effectiveness and experience in ministering to students and families inside and outside the church. The successful candidate will have demonstrated a measurable ability to connect with students, parents, volunteers, schools, other churches, and other community entities.

Specifically, we require applicants to have met these criteria:

  • College degree (educational background in Christian ministry or education is a plus)
  • 4 years of experience in ministry with a youth ministry of over 50 regular attendees
  • Demonstrated ability to develop relationships with schools and community organizations
  • Philosophy of ministry to students that is consistent with the vision and mission of WCC (which can be found at warsaw.cc/who)
  • Demonstrated ability to recruit and train leaders and partner with parents for the work of ministry

We expect the High School Pastor to be a contributing member of the church and local community, leading by example in connecting students with the larger life of the church. They must be comfortable spending a significant amount of time working outside of the church developing relationships with families and community organizations. An ability to have a volunteer role at our local high school in order to connect with students is a strong advantage.

We expect the High School Pastor to be willing to be a student of the local culture and develop programming based on the goals of the ministry and the needs of families. The High School Pastor is expected to work in constant connection with the Director of Student Ministries and must be coachable, self-motivated, insightful, and collaborative. We work with students to facilitate the Lord’s development of a faith that will last beyond high school. The fulfillment of this vision will allow the High School Pastor to be creative, while working within established successful programming and under the direction of student ministry veterans.

Interested applicants should submit a resume and cover letter to Scott Nieveen - snieveen@warsaw.cc after reviewing our church website at warsaw.cc. References and Statements of Faith are not necessary until later in the selection process. Candidates must be in agreement with our Vision, Mission, Beliefs, and Values (which can be found at warsaw.cc/who) and meet the requirements listed above and on the job description.
