Job Description

Description

Fellowship Denver is currently looking to add a Student Fellowship Director to lead a growing middle and high school ministry. The Student Fellowship Director has the opportunity to multiply impact and encourage gospel movement in the region by investing in lay leaders, discipling students, caring for families, and engaging others doing similar gospel work in the city. They will join a vibrant ministry team, working closely with the Family Ministry Director and pastoral staff. 

Responsibilities

The Candidate The ideal candidate for Student Fellowship Director is theologically astute, skilled at teaching Scripture in an urban, secular context, and works hard to maintain vibrant relational connections with lay leaders, students, and their parents. This role requires being a humble leader and an organizational team player. This person will:

• Lead with theological depth and vision. The Student Ministry Director needs to be able to think theologically before programmatically. Discipleship to teenagers begins with pursuing God’s heart and methods for their faith to begin and grow.
• Demonstrate an understanding of a post-Christian secular context. The major forces shaping young people in Denver are rooted in secularism. Many popular youth ministry models and curricula are not built to speak to this culture. However, when theological integration and contextualization are done well, students recognize and can articulate how the world is broken and false compared to the goodness and truth of God and the Bible.
• Be relationally mature and able to build trusting relationships with students, parents, and leaders.
• Apply entrepreneurial energy and fun to their strategic planning, creating a ministry that is uniquely tailored to engage students in the Denver context.
• Maintain an integrated vision of church as family, believing that teenagers grow in their faith when they have a holistic church experience versus merely being involved in a youth group.
• Build a ministry that can scale up to include 2-3x more students and leaders than its current number

Qualifications

• Meet the qualifications for deacons in 1 Timothy 3
• Be in full agreement with Fellowship Denver’s Statement of Essential Beliefs, Teaching Positions, and Ministry Values
• Organizational and administrative skills
• Spiritual vitality
• Willingness to learn
• Bachelor’s Degree preferred but not required
• Theological training, either in a local church or institutional setting
