LifeSpring Community Church - "Next -Gen" Staff Position (posted April 9, 2008)

 

LifeSpring Community Church, a Great Commission Church of 5 ½ years, is looking for someone who is being led by God to work with high school and college-aged students.

 

The candidate for this staff position will be responsible for directing current youth ministry opportunities, with an emphasis on individual spiritual growth, student training and on expanding the ministry to unchurched students throughout the St. Charles County area - through outreach, service and mission-focused opportunities.

 

As the candidate develops an effective leadership team and expands the effectiveness of this current ministry, a new emphasis will be to create and develop a college-age ministry that will effectively reach out to this age group for the purpose of seeing students come to Christ, grow in their faith and be enfolded into a local church. There is currently a local community college and a private 4-year college in the area.

 

The candidate should see this staff position as a life calling and not as a stepping-stone to pastoral ministry - even though it is understood that God can always redirect a person's life calling and purpose - we want to know that the candidate sees himself or herself in this position for the long haul.

 

Personal Qualifications
- Sex Male or Female
- Preferred Age Range 22-32 years old
- Marital Status Married or single
- Spiritual Background Born-again Christian of at least 6 years
- Experience 2 years previous experience in leading or having a key leadership role in an effective youth ministry is required.
- Spiritual Gifts Aptitude in administration, teaching God's Word, and relating well to high school students

- Biblical Qualifications See 1Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-9, and Galatians 5:22-26

 

These qualifications should be evidenced in the life of the candidate in the following three ways.

A. Character (See the above passages.)

B. Compatibility (See our website; www.discoverlifespring.com).
The candidate should:
- 1. Be unified with LifeSpring's doctrine, vision and mission.
- 2. Be in agreement with the core values of the Great Commission & of LifeSpring.
- 3. Have a proven ability to submit to pastoral authority.
- 4. See unity in the Church as a high core value.
- 5. Be a proven team player, not an independent agent.
- 6. Be a person who thoroughly enjoys hanging out with teens.

 

C. Competence
The candidate should:
1. Have proven excellence in ministry leadership, administration, teaching, and in relating with & as a mentor to high school students.
2. Possess self-starter qualities and be creative and innovative with the ability to place his/her own unique signature on the ministry.
3. Be unsatisfied with the status quo and always striving for new heights in reaching students for Christ.
4. Have the ability to resolve conflicts at every level: with students, team leaders, and parents, and not get defensive when criticized.

 

The LifeSpring leadership team, consisting of the two pastors along with four members, realizes a growing need for a person in this position. We are open to God's leading and realize that this area will need to be a step of faith for both the church and the candidate.

 

We are currently a 5 ½ year-old church of 250 (160 adults/90 children). Currently, on average, 30-35 teens attend our Monday evening youth meeting. We have our own facility on 7 acres, with plans to build a larger facility in the near future. The church has experienced consistent growth over the years and is in the middle of a season of significant growth. Both pastors are paid full-time salaries and have both been in ministry for 15-20 years.

 

While our budget has grown each year, we currently have limited financial resources to add a third full-time staff position for the size of our church. This is where we believe the step of faith comes in. The possibilities for financial support could be varied depending on the candidate, and we are open to anything that God may want to do. We believe the congregation will be involved in supporting this need.

 

Important Note
We believe "the way of wisdom" dictates that this position will be initially looked at as a 1-year internship to give both the candidate and the church the opportunity to evaluate, at year's end, if it is a good fit for everyone.

 

Application Requirements
1. Current resume
2. A salvation testimony, current spiritual growth testimony, and a ministry experience testimony
3. Three professional references and one pastoral reference

 

Interested candidates should send all application requirements, by May 1, 2008, to:
Pastor Jim Donahue at jim@discoverlifespring.com
or via postal services at:
LifeSpring Community Church
1615 Thoele Road
St. Peters, MO 63376
