Description

Job Summary

The primary responsibility of the Youth Pastor is to provide catalytic leadership to the student ministry of The Table Church, helping to envision, strategize, implement, and lead a student ministry that multiplies disciples who live and lead like Jesus:

• This role is for someone who is highly evangelistic and has a calling to help middle and high school students follow Jesus.
• The opportunity is to create pathways for students to come to salvation, grow in their faith, become disciples (one who loves and obeys Jesus), and help disciple others.
• Along the way, you will ensure that the DNA, vision, and values of The Table are communicated, demonstrated, and infused into TBL YTH.

Both directly and through others, the Youth Pastor will grow the TBL YTH Middle School and High School ministries to each consistently have more than 50 students attending on a weekly basis.
