Youth Director

Description

Student Directors create a midweek experience for students 6th-12th grade. They deliver the message, lead ministry leaders and volunteers, pastor and care for students, and participate in community outreach and school involvement. They also lead their student ministry to corporate youth events and camp during the year. Student Directors also work alongside the other Student Directors in their region to learn from one another, create sermon series, and receive leadership training from their Regional Director.
