*While this position is part-time, we are looking to fill three additional part-time positions (Youth Director, Worship Leader & Director, Creative Director). If you can fill any of those positions, we can offer you full-time employment.
New Heights is a rapidly growing church full of people who love Jesus, love to serve, are generous, and desire to reach future generations with the Gospel. We have a senior pastor who deeply values young adult ministry, having a son and daughter in that life stage, and four more children who soon will be. We have excellent Bible teaching and a deep desire to be a church that is pleasing to Jesus. New Heights values deep relationships (for real). The Tri-Cities is a great place to live and raise a family, and our church is a great place to grow in Christ and ministry skills.
We are looking for someone who can help shepherd our young adults toward maturity in Christ by facilitating fellowship, the building of meaningful relationships, and Bible studies with small group discussions focused on discipleship. We envision a young adult ministry that helps bridge the gap between high school and those next life stages of marriage and career under the leadership of someone who can serve as an example of what it means to live as a Jesus follower.
We have a decent number of young adults (a few dozen) who attend a few different small groups in our church but currently have no ministry specifically for young adults.
Our church has been blessed with resources that will enable us to provide compensation based on qualifications, experience, ability, and the cost of living in the Tri-Cities. Our leaders care about the families of our staff team members and will offer market rate benefits and salary levels.
This level of care extends to the expected work hours. We want team members to live in a healthy, sustainable rhythm while functioning at a high level and taking responsibility for their areas of ministry.
For more information about our church, please see below.
New Heights is a church family where the average age is in the upper 50s, but the church is passionate about reaching younger generations. They recently welcomed Jeff Thompson as the new senior pastor (he’s 42), and our congregation loves to serve and give generously.
We are a church that strongly desires to be biblically substantive. We love God’s Word and pursue the “one another’s” of Scripture through small groups. This is why we want a model of young adult ministry that does something similar and helps shepherd men and women into fully functioning members of the body.
We do not believe we compete with the world; the Church is to be something altogether different. We want to continue pursuing the real thing – a church dependent on the grace and truth of Jesus and the power of His Spirit. We want to offer the Lord the very best we can, but we also want to do church in a way that would still work if we lost our building and all our technology. We really do believe that Christ is the Cornerstone, and we never want our church to be built on anything else.
Our church is not trying to turn into a corporation with countless employees. We value the lay service of our brothers and sisters who make up the body. So, we’re looking for someone who can empower volunteers for greater ministry while caring for and protecting them from the possibility of burnout.
If you’re passionate about Jesus and long to be part of a church that exists to please, bless, and honor Him above all else, we’d love to talk with you.
