Protestant Youth Minister

RESPONSIBILITIES: Under the supervision of the Director of Spiritual Life, the Protestant Youth Minister helps create an environment that encourages all Protestant students and seekers to investigate and nurture their own Christian identity and the formation of a faith community that responds to the spiritual needs of other students, teachers/staff, and members of our local community. In collaboration with the Spiritual Life Department and the local parish, the campus minister provides pastoral support for the students, faculty, and staff and brings to life a campus rich in spirit, prayer, discipleship, social justice, and Christian preparation leadership in the Church and society.

REQUIREMENTS: A bachelor's degree in theology, ministry, or a related field or commensurate experience is required; an M.Div. or equivalent degree and Ordination (or seeking Ordination) in a mainline Protestant tradition are highly desired. The Protestant Youth Minister must be skilled at engaging and guiding young people in their faith journey and adept at planning, coordinating, and executing various activities and programs. The candidate must possess the ability to build strong relationships, foster a supportive community, effectively minister to the students, enjoy the challenges of supporting a program of diverse people and faith traditions, and be open to supporting interfaith initiatives. Equally important is the ability to maintain accurate records, work within the allocated budget, and collaborate effectively with team members.
