Youth Director

Overview:
First Church Defiance is seeking a part-time Youth Director. This position will provide direction for our Jr. & Sr. High ministries. Located in Defiance, OH, First Church is in a season of growth, and is looking for someone to help take our student ministry to the next level. Our mission as a church is to “Meet people where they are, and love them to where Jesus wants them to be.” We do this in every area by reaching out to those in need, connecting them to Jesus and other believers, and serving together to reach even more people with the good news.

Our church family is passionate about seeing teens discover and grow in God’s love for them. We have been blessed with a great team of youth leaders, over 20 teens attending our Wednesday night activities, and a million-dollar facility dedicated to youth ministry and ministry in our community. The Summit Youth Center features a main area with staging, breakout rooms for small groups, a large game room, a café, and more.

The position requires 10-15 hours a week and includes part-time salary and a personal expense fund. The expectation is that this person will be a leader who equips a team to carry out the work of the ministry rather than someone who tries to do it all themselves. We are open to training someone. However, previous youth ministry or significant church leadership experience, and the ability to make staff and leadership team meetings either in person or virtually are a plus. See the job description for more details.

This position is a great opportunity to grow in your leadership and thrive alongside a great staff and loving church family. After prayerfully seeking God, if you feel led, please drop us a letter of interest and resume at office@firstchurchdefiance.com.
