Calvary is prayerfully seeking a Student Pastor to fulfill the purpose and mission of the church by providing leadership, oversight, and ministry to our Students (grades 6-12) and their families. The Student Pastor will need to function as a team member
of the church staff by assuming all spiritual, fiscal, and administrative roles and responsibilities. Ultimately, the aim is to lead students to Jesus and a deeper walk with Him along with fulfilling pastoral roles with the same aim toward the church body.
The Student Ministry currently has 50+ students on a weekly basis along with 30+ volunteers. It is a Big Group/Small Group-Based ministry that has 7 area schools represented. It comes with a 4,000-square-foot facility across the road from the main facilities
that serve as the Student Center. The Student Center includes 8 breakout rooms, a worship area with seating for 100, and a kitchen with seating and a hang-out area.
Calvary believes in Student Ministry and is focused on reaching this demographic along with their families. The support is financially, spiritually, encouragement, volunteering, and serving.
