Associate Pastor for Youth and Families–Covenant Presbyterian Church–Huntsville, AL

This role will serve as the “department head” of our ministries to young people, supervising the part time children’s director and reporting directly to the senior pastor. This would be an ideal role for a candidate who wishes to become a senior pastor in the future and every encouragement and opportunity will be given for the Youth Pastor’s professional growth including mentoring in preaching and organizational leadership from the senior pastor. Alternatively, it would also be an ideal role for a candidate who feels deeply called to ministry to young people and has a vision to build a multi-staff department from infant to college with several assistant directors. In either case the role will require an entrepreneurial drive and enthusiasm in addition to excellent organizational and team building skills. The vision is too big for any single leader and the candidate will need to inspire and motivate a network of staff and volunteers. There is a strong group of adult volunteers already in place to assist in this ministry so the expectation would be that the candidate develop and guide a strong team of adults to minister to the Youth. The whole congregation takes great pride and joy in the work of the Youth. Our greatest focus is sharing Christ with those who need him. Barna Group research suggests that two thirds of those who accept Christ as savior do so by the age of 18. So this ministry is at the very center of our church’s heart.
