Justification: The Church must have on staff an individual whose primary responsibilities include leading youth to Christ; helping youth to build strong, life-long relationships with God; and equipping youth to better understand their faith and prepare them to defend their faith in the world.

Nature of Position: Working in concert with other ministerial staff, the Youth Minister is responsible for planning, promoting, and supervising a comprehensive program for all youth (grades 7-12), to include conducting training opportunities for their benefit. The Youth Minister shall seek opportunities to be with the youth, win their confidence and trust, and disciple them in order to deepen their spiritual lives. The Youth Minister should actively promote improved parent-youth communication along with a positive Christian home environment. The Youth Minister may also participate in planning, promoting, and supervising similar programs for college students as the need evolves. This is a full-time position, requiring a flexible work schedule in order to direct and participate in youth activities that occur during various hours of the day and night. The Youth Minister must, however, maintain some mutually agreed-upon, established hours so that youth, parents, ministerial staff, and others can have reasonable access to the Youth Minister.

Essential Job Duties: The Youth Minister’s basic responsibilities include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

To serve as a Godly leader and role model for church youth in both personal and professional life.
Plan, coordinate, conduct, and evaluate church youth activities with other ministerial staff and program leaders. The Youth Minister shall be the “point person” in this effort.
Plan and direct on-site youth activities, such as recreational activities and church programs.
Plan and direct off-site youth activities, such as fellowships, retreats, and mission trips.
Coordinate and conduct weekly youth Bible studies.
Counsel youth as needed.
Develop relationships with local school officials and be available to speak and/or visit in the schools.
Maintain awareness and understanding of current trends in youth education programs and youth culture.
Conduct training for those working with the youth, as needed.
