Be a creative trail blazer.
We value someone who is eager to establish new practices and strategies for reaching the youth
of our church and our community. We’re looking for someone who prayerfully seeks God’s
vision for how to minister most fruitfully in this area. And yes, we are open to change! Our lead
pastor will offer guidance and the church will offer support as you create and lead biblical youth
programming including Bible studies, worship, small group relationships, intimacy with God, and
ministry opportunities. Please view this an an opportunity to be innovative in how to reach youth
with the message and mission of Jesus. Our vision is to pour into youth and raise up disciples of
Christ!
Have a community wide vision, not just focused on CFC.
You are responsible for not only helping the youth in our congregation develop their faith, but
you should also endeavor to include other youth in our community. We would love for you to
include as many young people as possible and to help spread God's love to all!
Be a teammate.
The youth pastor should be a teammate for CFC working together with its current staff and
members. Teamwork is critical in seeking the Lord’s will. We need to depend on each other in
the body of Christ. There are no lone rangers in the Kingdom of God. Therefore, meeting with
the pastor and staff on a regular basis will be part of this job.
Desire to grow.
Youth ministry plus other areas of ministry could be cultivated by joining us at CFC. While this
position has a focus on youth, it is not restricted to only youth. We’d love to see you flourish with
us!
+ Qualifications
Clear calling from God.
The person we’re looking for needs to have a clear call from God. God is the one who prepares
us for ministry and calls us into a life of service to Him. We’re eager to hear about how God has
called you to youth ministry and how He has confirmed His calling in your life. We fully believe
that God calls men and women into vocational ministry.
The heart matters!
God is interested in the heart of the person (1 Sam 16:7) and so are we! We value someone with
godly character and integrity. We want you to strive to be like God, so we have no hesitation
telling the youth of Cando, “Look at our youth pastor. That’s who you should live like if you’re
going to follow Jesus.”
1st Timers or experienced youth pastors will be considered.
CFC is open to hiring a youth pastor who has no prior experience in vocational ministry, or someone
with vocational ministry experience. We value a candidate who has some experience in working with
young people whether it be though Bible camps, Sunday school, or other Christian youth activities.
A person with a proficient understanding of the challenges and needs of teenagers and adolescents
is a priority.

Ministry is all about relationship. Our youth pastor must love youth, their families, the entire
church - young and old - and most of all, Jesus.
