He or she will also oversee weekly youth activities for 7th–12th graders, including Learning Environments, Community Groups, and other student activities.

The Director must communicate effectively with students and their parents, and have a heart to care for and provide counsel to our youth and their families, offering practical guidance towards fostering spiritual health and stability within the home. In his or her teaching, the Youth Director is to demonstrate a belief in the authority of Scripture and a commitment to hear and submit to it.

He or she will train our youth for their roles in the church as they mature, and integrate them into areas of service.
