Full-Time, Salaried Position | Reports to Pastor of Next Generations 

Overview: 

The Director of Student Ministries will lead a Christ-centered, spiritually formative ministry for middle and  high school students. Rather than focusing on just behavior or activity, this role cultivates the transformation of  students into lifelong disciples of Jesus through intentional relationships, authentic community, and practices  that lead to lasting spiritual maturity. A key focus will be equipping leaders and parents to walk alongside  students in this journey of formation and mission. This candidate is a deeply committed follower of Jesus with  over five years of ministry experience, including 2 years leading in student ministry. They bring a strong passion  for discipling the next generation and view the family as the primary context for spiritual formation. With a  preference for depth over hype, they still know how to have fun and engage students in meaningful, lasting  ways. Known for being organized, a clear communicator, and a humble team player, they reject siloed ministry  and instead partner with NorthBridge to fulfill the shared mission and vision. They are a self-starter with a  steady, long-haul mindset—seeing youth ministry not as a stepping stone, but as a life calling. Their ministry is  highly relational and often happens outside the office, where they intentionally pursue students in their everyday  spaces. They prioritize character over competency, are passionate about raising up student and adult leaders, and  value honest accountability for themselves and their team. Theologically grounded with a high view of Scripture and a clear grasp of the Gospel, they are not legalistic on non-essentials and can hold differing views in tension. Above all, they are Spirit-dependent, creative, teachable, and driven by a vision of helping young  people live fully into the way of Jesus. 

Qualifications: 

• Deep, personal relationship with Jesus, marked by humility, maturity, and spiritual depth.
• Strong theological foundation; formal training preferred. 
• Experience in leading spiritually formative student ministry environments. 
• A heart for walking with students through the complexities of adolescence with grace and truth.
• Strong communicator and relational leader with high emotional intelligence. 
• Spiritual gifts: Leadership, Teaching, Shepherding, Administration. 
• Engaging, fun, and rooted in authenticity.
