The Pastor of Preteens and Youth Ministries is expected to be an active member of FBC, a church of the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada (https://www.firstbc.org/pages/ouraffiliation), and be involved in community life beyond ministry (e.g. corporate worship, small group communities, and community events).

  • Provide pastoral leadership in encouraging preteens and youth to follow Jesus.
  • Cultivate a dedicated team of Christ-centered lay leaders and volunteers who are committed to walking alongside preteens and youth to point them to Jesus.
  • Equip parents and guardians as primary disciple-makers of preteens and youth.
  • Collaborate with the Pastor of Children’s Ministries and Pastor of Discipleship and Community to develop a cohesive discipleship plan with significant transitions and milestones in mind.
  • Collaborate with the Director of Street Ministries to develop ways for our preteens and youth to deepen their understanding of the church’s missional call.
  • Develop new initiatives to reach our neighbouring, unchurched preteens and youth.
  • Recommend systems, policies, and procedures that ensure the well-being of preteens, youth, and family.
  • Strengthen partnerships with local preteens and youth ministries, local faith-based organizations, and community partners.

Other Ministerial/Staff Responsibilities

  • Take an active role in worship services
  • Attend staff meetings, retreats, and functions as required.
  • All other duties as assigned by the Lead Pastor.

Qualifications

  • Sincere, maturing faith in Christ.
  • Pastoral call to preteens and youth ministries.
  • Ability to relate personally and socially to preteens, youth and parents with cultural sensitivity and an awareness of the complexities of adolescent development and faith formation.
  • Team-oriented mindset and collaborative work ethic.
  • Cultural intelligence to lead in a multi-ethnic/international community.
  • Ability to translate vision and strategy into action.
  • Div. or equivalent, preferred.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in emerging generation ministries, preferred.

Requirements
