+ Job Description & Responsibilities

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.

Be Relational

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

Agreement

All applicants must be in agreement with Christian Fellowship Church’s statement of faith. (See 
attached document.)

+ Compensation

This is a full time position.
Salary negotiable.
We are willing to help you find suitable housing.

your life, we’d love to hear from you. Please send a letter introducing yourself and a resume to the
