Unionville First Christian Church's heritage is in the Christian churches and churches of Christ (Restoration Movement). Youth group averages over 25 students each week; Sunday morning worship is currently 160 (in two services). We take a group of nearly 100 people to Nationwide Youth Roundup (NYR) every July. The congregation is involved with several national and international missionaries and organizations and generously supports youth activities. Full-time UFCC staff is the senior minister, and part-time staff are the visitation minister (pastoral care) and church secretary. We have several dedicated volunteer youth sponsors.UFCC is in a rural area. The youth minister must have a good understanding of a rural context and can relate to small-town folks.

The youth minister is the primary point of contact for students in grades 6-12. He leads the youth and their families through word and deed to seek Jesus and serve others. He works toward student maturity in Christ and is concerned about their formation into Christlikeness; he is not an “event guy”. The youth minister will create a culture of disciple-making among youth.The youth minister must exhibit Christ-like maturity, humility, and strong boundaries. He is a lifelong learner committed to helping others grow. He respects authority and works well with volunteers. He is a people person (but not a people pleaser) who connects easily to younger generations.See the full description in the PDF for details.
