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 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.

Housing is more affordable than much of the Seattle metro, neighborhoods range from wooded family areas to water‑view communities, and the population includes a mix of military families, long‑time locals, and new residents moving in from across the region. Churches tend to be smaller, highly relational, and ripe for shepherding, evangelism, and revitalization work.

Staff Behaviors DEVELOP PEER LEADERS We believe peer leaders work alongside you, not under you. We value developing high-capacity leaders, not hiring more staff or doing most of the work ourselves. Who are your peer leaders? How are you developing them? PLAN TO REST We believe rest is a spiritual discipline that fosters dependency on God and results in vibrant work. Rest needs to be routine, planned for, and taken seriously. This means both weekly and annually through use of vacation time. What’s your weekly rhythm for rest? When is your next vacation? STAY HEALTHY We believe that every part of your life matters to God, not just your job. Every part of your life will affect your broader ministry. You are responsible to pursue health in each area. What are you doing to foster health in your relational, physical, financial, mental, and spiritual life? HELP ONE ANOTHER SUCCEED We believe great teams act like a team. Each member of our team has unique gifts, perspectives, and strengths. Our staff functions best when we’re using our God-given design to help the others succeed. How have you asked for or offered help to a team member? PERSONALLY SHARE THE GOSPEL We believe that our greatest responsibility as followers of Jesus is to make disciples which begins with sharing the gospel. We look for opportunities to personally share the gospel with the people God has placed around us relationally and geographically. Whom are you praying for, and with whom have you shared the Gospel recently? HAVE HARD CONVERSATIONS We believe that trust and unity are built around honest and gracious conversations when misunderstandings, offenses, or unmet expectations arise. We do not drag each other through the mud by complaining to others, backbiting, or assuming the worst. Instead, we assume the best and have a conversation. When have you initiated or received an honest and gracious conversation with another team member? Is there a conversation that you need to pursue? PURSUE BIG GOALS We believe in pursuing a God-sized vision by setting and pursuing big, measurable goals. Once set, we work at them vigorously, diligently and proficiently. The greatest outcome in pursuing a goal is often the pursuit of who we have to become to reach our goals. What goals are you pursuing with your team that are too big to accomplish without God’s help? SERVE WITH JOY We believe our attitude impacts our relationships, and our relationships impact our ability to work toward our vision. Everyone has bad days, but we seek to maintain a spirit of joy, respect, patience, and kindness toward every team member and volunteer. Nobody likes to work with a jerk. Where could your attitude use an adjustment? EMBODY PARTICIPATION We believe our responsibility as leaders is to model the engagement we think will benefit every person in our church family. For us, a normal week is 40 hours + Community Group + Sunday morning. And some weeks are more than normal. We don’t ask our volunteers to make greater time commitments than what we are modeling for them. What am I doing to model engagement in each area as a leader in our church family?
