A successful candidate will be able to grow and develop the Youth Ministry by recruiting, inspiring, and equipping a team of volunteers to teach, guide, and care for the youth of COTC. The successful candidate will also be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading of the youth in Biblical teaching, discipleship, and worship for the youth in their care. Areas of focus include group and community building, discipleship, worship, mission, family support, outreach, and creating avenues that ensure opportunities for connection to the life of the body of Christ. Responsibilities Be an engaging spiritual leader and discipleship role model with a demonstrable personal relationship with Jesus.

Maintain accurate records of youth participation and follow up with students whose youth attendance has dropped. Develop and oversee youth ministry policies and procedures ensuring the safety of students, staff, and volunteers. Manage, compile, and execute a youth ministry program budget for reporting purposes. Communicate with church leadership, staff, parents, and congregation in a timely manner utilizing available resources (email, social media, call/text, bulletin, newsletter, posters, etc.).
