Student Minister

Job Description :

When applying, please include your Statement of Faith and a description of your work and / or volunteer experience with (middles and high school-aged) students in a faith based context along with your cover letter and resume.

The Church

St. Andrew Student Ministry is a part of a growing and thriving community in Plano, Texas at a church that has seen growth both spiritually and numerically over the last several years. We are seeking a passionate lover of Jesus who will provide programming and ministry to students who attend St. Andrew. We believe strongly that before we can expect someone to believe, that they first must feel like they belong. We want someone who will be active in the community in finding partnerships with local schools, parachurch organizations such as Young Life and FCA, other area churches, and more. We seek someone who would rather be in the stands on Friday night than sitting in an office editing a Sunday message.

The Ministry

Our student ministry averages over students at our summer camp each year and students on a standard Sunday morning. We do not seek to do student ministry the way it has always been done. Nor are we of the “build it and they will come” mentality. Instead, we bring ministry wherever we go, and we live on mission. If you feel like this is the kind of team you want to be a part of, you might be the person we are trying to find.

The Role

Under the direction of the Student Ministry Project Manager, our two Student Ministers grow and oversee all programs directed at students who call St. Andrew home. These programs are designed and implemented to grow and mature students wholistically in discipleship. The Student Ministers build bridges from outreach events to create an environment where all students feel like they can belong before they have to believe. The Student Ministers also help to fulfill the mission and vision of St. Andrew Methodist Church.

Weekly Program Responsibilities :

• Plan and execute all aspects of Sunday morning programming including but not limited to announcements, coordination of worship, message, and small groups.
• Support our Sunday evening programming, including planning and executing both on and off-campus events.
• Assist with finding, equipping, and encouraging adults to lead small groups.
• Prepare weekly communication to all adults involved in volunteering.
• Support Life Groups by assisting with any logistics needed from groups and connecting all students with opportunities to join a Life Group.
• Oversee Home Days, Lunch Bunch, and all other Student Ministry Programming.
