Reports to: Director of Family Ministries

Position type: full-time

Available to: women and men

Agapé City Church is seeking a new full-time Student Ministry Leader. The Student Ministry Leader provides leadership and pastoral care for Agapé City Church’s Student Ministry, serving middle and high school students and their families through discipleship, community engagement, and volunteer leadership.

This role is responsible for shaping a student ministry that is spiritually grounded, relationally healthy, and missionally engaged within the broader community. A central expression of this mission is intentional partnership and presence within the local middle and high school systems, reflecting ACC’s commitment to impact the youth of the community beyond the walls of the church. The Student Ministry Leader leads volunteers, partners with parents, and collaborates with staff to ensure students are discipled faithfully and formed within a consistent, aligned family ministry framework.

Responsibilities include:

• Provide leadership and oversight for the Student Ministry serving grades 6–12.
• Execute student ministry strategy in alignment with the vision and direction set by the Director of Family Ministries.
• Recruit, train, equip, and shepherd volunteer leaders, building healthy teams rather than dependency on staff.
• Plan and lead student gatherings, programs, and discipleship environments with clarity, preparation, and consistency.
• Discern and implement curriculum and teaching approaches that are appropriate for student formation, in collaboration with the Director of Family Ministries.
• Establish and maintain meaningful presence and partnerships within local middle and high schools and the broader community.
• Represent Agapé City Church to students, families, and community partners with maturity, integrity, and approachability.
• Lead off-weekend initiatives that support student discipleship and relational connection.
• Partner with parents to support discipleship in the home without replacing parental responsibility.
• Collaborate with children’s and family ministry leaders to ensure alignment across ministries.
