$60,000 - $75,000

We exist to love God, love people, and make disciples by helping people fulfill their role in God's story. Students are not the church of tomorrow — they are the church right now. The Student Pastor at Severns Valley walks with sixth through twelfth graders and their families through one of the most formative seasons of life, helping them step into who God has called them to be. This is not a role for someone learning on the job. We're looking for a seasoned shepherd — someone with proven experience leading student ministry well, anchored in the gospel, and equipped to partner deeply with parents and volunteer leaders to multiply the impact we're already seeing in students' lives. The Opportunity Our current student ministry is healthy and thriving. We're serving approximately 150 students in 6th–12th grade with over 20 adult volunteers and a Student Ministry Lead Team of 10 students. We're experiencing consistent growth and seeing real spiritual movement in our young people. Here's where we are: Our student ministry is strong. Kids are being reached. Discipleship is happening. Here's where we need to go: To reach more students and families, we need a pastor who can lead the whole ecosystem — not just students, but the parents who are their primary disciple-makers and the volunteers who will extend our reach. The next phase of our growth depends on scaling through intentional parent and volunteer leadership. We're looking for someone who has already learned how to lead student ministry successfully and is ready to bring that expertise to bear on the harder work of building a sustainable, scalable, parent-and-volunteer-centered ministry.
