The Church
St. Andrew Student Ministry is a part of a growing and thriving community in Plano, Texas at a church that has seen growth both spiritually and numerically over the last several years. We are seeking a passionate lover of Jesus who will provide programming and ministry to students who attend St. Andrew. We believe strongly that before we can expect someone to believe, that they first must feel like they belong. We want someone who will be active in the community in finding partnerships with local schools, parachurch organizations such as Young Life and FCA, other area churches, and more. We seek someone who would rather be in the stands on Friday night than sitting in an office editing a Sunday message.
The Ministry
Our student ministry averages over 200 students at our summer camp each year and 120 students on a standard Sunday morning. We do not seek to do student ministry the way it has always been done. Nor are we of the “build it and they will come” mentality. Instead, we bring ministry wherever we go, and we live on mission. If you feel like this is the kind of team you want to be a part of, you might be the person we are trying to find.
The Role
Under the direction of the Student Ministry Project Manager, our two Student Ministers grow and oversee all programs directed at students who call St. Andrew home. These programs are designed and implemented to grow and mature students wholistically in discipleship. The Student Ministers build bridges from outreach events to create an environment where all students feel like they can belong before they have to believe. The Student Ministers also help to fulfill the mission and vision of St. Andrew Methodist Church.

Competencies
At St. Andrew, we are called to lead our community and beyond towards the transforming life that exists in Christ. We are compelled to love and challenge an often self-reliant people that frequently appear Christian from afar, to true, biblical servanthood by illuminating the need for salvation, developing spiritual foundations, clarifying the richness of Christ-centered living, assisting them to build strong, God-centered families, and stirring us who serve toward good works that have great impact for Christ.
In short, at St. Andrew, our mission is: Calling the “Christian-ish” to become passionate servants of Christ.
