The ideal candidate will likely be someone currently pursuing a degree or training in vocational Student Ministry who will benefit from a part-time opportunity which coincides with their calling to church leadership. It is our desire to find someone who would desire to see this mature into a full-time position following their matriculation. We will also strongly consider a candidate with youth ministry history who is looking to serve the church in a part-time capacity with a growing group of students.
