Lowell Church of Christ is seeking a new full-time Youth Minister to oversee the development of ministry for 6-12th grade students, partnering alongside parents in providing spiritual direction and wisdom.

Responsibilities include:

• Lead: The Youth Minister will oversee the ministry for 6-12th grade
  students. They are responsible for finding, recruiting, and training
  volunteers.
• Team: While the Youth Minister’s primary focus will be on teens, they
  should be committed to the growth of the whole church. This will include
  help with churchwide events, attendance at leadership meetings, and
  occasional other duties assigned by the Senior Minister or Eldership.
• Family: The youth minister does not do ministry in a silo, but as part of the
  God-ordained plan of raising up children to honor Christ. As such, they
  recognize the primary role of parents, and do everything within a
  framework of empowering and assisting them in their role as the primary
  spiritual leaders of their children.
• Vision: The Youth Minister sets the direction of the youth ministry in a
  God-honoring way.
• Shepherd: The youth minister shepherds the spiritual life of students. This
  includes teaching, relationship building, counseling, and other related
  activities. This can include being active in their lives, providing safety in all
  programming, and more.
• Student: All ministers are also expected to be learners. They should be
  learning about Scripture, cultural trends, educational tools, and more. To
  make disciples, the youth minister must set the example of being a
  disciple.

Work schedule looks like the following:

• All full-time personnel are expected to work between 40-48 hours per
  week.
• Every minister has one week-day off, plus working Saturdays on an
  “as-needed” basis.
• Vacation time is provided according to the LCOC staff PTO plan.

Both men and women are encouraged to apply!
