Youth Minister

Chapel Hill Bible Church is looking for a Youth Minister to lead and serve our youth in knowing and loving Jesus. We desire to see teenagers in our church grow in their Christian maturity and reach their lost friends with the transforming message of the gospel.

Our church is a diverse community that attracts people from five different counties. Our middle and high school students attend various types of schools including public, private, home school, and some dual enrollment in college. They also come from various socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. These dynamics present challenges and opportunities in growing a community that is centered around the word of God and that expresses and experiences deep love for one another.


Our next Youth Minister must be able to skillfully navigate these differences while leading our youth to fix their eyes on Jesus! The Youth Minister must be able to engage relationally with teenagers, with adult leaders, and with parents alike, leading a ministry that is both fun and formative.


The Chapel Hill Bible Church has a membership of approximately 600 individuals with over 1,000 people being part of our community. Our youth ministry is currently comprised of 23 volunteers and about 100 youth.

Overview

Full-Time

The purpose of this job is to lead and direct a ministry that brings the powerful gospel of Jesus Christ to the youth in the Chapel Hill Bible Church and surrounding communities. The Youth Ministry includes both Middle and High School students.


The Youth Minister should not only organize and lead a great program for our youth (Wednesday night, Sunday Morning, retreats, etc…) but should also intentionally pursue opportunities to be with students throughout the week.
