Student Pastor

Job Description

Job Summary

The Student Pastor will be the driving force behind our student ministry, investing in the hundreds of junior high and high school students who call New Hills Church home. You will cast the vision, build the team, and grow a world-class ministry that reaches and engages the next generation from all over North Denver and beyond.

Role

• Lead and oversee the entire Student Ministry of New Hills Church for students in grades 6–12
• Drive all recruiting and volunteer development for the student ministry team
• Build and iterate key systems for engaging new and existing students and families at New Hills
• Set the direction and strategy for programming, discipleship, events, and retreats
• Teach and preach regularly in student environments with biblical depth and cultural relevance
• Partner closely with parents to equip them as the primary faith influencers in their students’ lives
• Oversee ministry budget and ensure all environments meet New Hills safety standards

You Will Be a Great Fit If:

• You are a natural leader who thrives in the driver’s seat and loves working at a fast pace
• You love being up front, speaking to students, and inspiring a room—your energy is contagious
• You have zero fear casting a vision and recruiting volunteers to a cause bigger than themselves
• You enjoy building systems and structures that let a ministry grow beyond any one person
• You are genuinely drawn to teenagers—their questions, their chaos, and their potential
• You are a relationship builder who makes students and adults feel seen and valued

You Will Not Be a Great Fit If:

• You prefer a steady, low-change environment over a fast-moving, growing ministry
• Cold-calling and recruiting strangers to volunteer makes you want to hide
• You’d rather support from behind the scenes than lead from the front
• You’re more energized by maintaining what exists than by building something new
• Teenagers or high-energy environments wear you out
