Description

Summary of Position

Mercy Hill Church places extreme value on our worship gatherings. The gatherings are the start of our flywheel (Gather, Group, Give, Go). All steps of the flywheel are important but they start with the gathering. If the weekend isn't right then nothing else will be!  At Mercy Hill, every gathering should be filled with the Word of God, Celebration over what he has done and is doing, and Response to the gospel through big praise and big prayers. With that in view, the Students Experience AD will be responsible for creating and fostering an exciting and energy-filled environment where First Time Guests and currently engaged students can easily connect with the ministry. This AD needs to strike the balance between relational and administrative leadership and have the ability to both connect individually with students and leaders and connect students to leaders.
