Job Description

About the Church

Johns Creek Baptist Church (JCBC) is a large congregation in Alpharetta, GA, and affiliated the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. The church is described as warm and welcoming. The congregation's focus is on the inward spiritual journey and the outward journey in mission. 

About the Ministry

The youth ministry serves students from 6th through 12th grades. There are currently 56 youth on the rolls, with about 25 participating in a typical week. The ministry has strong traditions in its Sunday school and Sunday night grow groups, and retreats are a core component. The ministry benefits from a dedicated space that is attractive, well-maintained, and includes youth-friendly furniture, games, and a dedicated worship space. 

The Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate demonstrates a sincere love for youth, has a "growth mindset", and high emotional intelligence. JCBC is looking for a proactive, self-starting team player who can think strategically and build sustainable systems, not just a "pied piper".  

Key Responsibilities

- Vision & Leadership: Develop and implement a strategic plan for youth ministry, providing leadership and oversight for all programming while modeling spiritual maturity and pastoral care.

- Volunteer & Team Development: Recruit, equip, train, and supervise adult volunteers and a Ministry Assistant, while partnering with the Youth Council to implement the ministry vision.

- Program Management: Ensure the continuation and spiritual focus of all youth programming (weekly, retreats, mission trips) through volunteer leadership, while maintaining accurate records and communication.

- Family & Congregational Integration: Partner with parents as primary faith influencers and integrate youth into the broader congregational life through intergenerational ministry and collaboration with other staff.

- Administration: Prepare and manage the annual youth ministry budget, maintain facilities and resources, and participate in weekly staff meetings, planning sessions, and churchwide events.

Qualifications

- Master’s-level theological degree or higher from an accredited institution preferred.

- Minimum of three years of experience in congregational ministry.

- Demonstrated ability to teach, lead, and connect with adolescents and parents.

- Excellent organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills.

- Commitment to the theological and cultural values of Johns Creek Baptist Church.

- Demonstrates emotional maturity, self-awareness, and strong relational intelligence.
