First Baptist Church - Clay, is a Southern Baptist Church in a small rural community with approximately 110 weekly members and attendees. Our congregation is seeking a full-time associate pastor whose main ministry focus will be on middle school, high school, and connecting college-age students to the life of the church.
On Wednesdays, we average 90+ students between pre-K-12th grade. Our volunteers are passionate about students. This is an "already thriving" ministry that needs ministry- focused leadership. It's great opportunity for whomever God selects for us.
We view the associate position as a "pastor" (1 Timothy 3:8-13 & Titus 1:5-9) not a hired-hand. The associate pastor of students will work with, be mentored, and held accountable by the lead pastor, who is 45 years old with 16 years of pastoral ministry experience, in a variety of contexts. There will be opportunities to preach on occasion and will be expected to preach when the lead pastor is away.
We are seeking a man called to student ministry, not one who views it as a stepping stone. Obviously, God ultimately controls that but a commitment to students is paramount for this position.
