Sienna Community Church is seeking a relational, driven, and visionary Student Pastor in one of the most vibrant and fast-growing communities in America. You’ll thrive here if you’re a motivated team builder who comes alive in a Biblically grounded, highly relational environment. You will join people who rally around a shared mission and love doing life together. Two years ago, Sienna Community welcomed a new lead pastor with a clear and compelling vision: to be an authentic community of faith that inspires people to follow Jesus and equips them to invest in others. The church is growing and sits on 7 acres of land, with space ready for development. Over the past two years, our church has undergone a building renovation, improved infrastructure, and a name change, and recently completed a rebranding process to clarify our mission. Currently, SCC has between 150 and 200 members, along with a thriving kids' ministry that reaches over 50 children each week. You’ll join a staff that genuinely enjoys each other’s company, celebrates wins together, and cheers one another on. You’ll also have the steady encouragement and strategic coaching of a lead pastor with over a decade of successful youth ministry experience; someone who knows what it takes to grow and sustain a thriving student ministry. Sienna Community Church has historically been home to a thriving youth ministry. Currently, the youth ministry is in a rebuilding stage, with around 10 middle schoolers attending our weekly gatherings. Over the next few years, approximately 20 children will transition from our children's ministry to our youth ministry. Four Key Factors That Make This Role Uniquely Exciting Youth Ministry Relaunch — Build from the Ground Up This is your chance to dream big. You’re not tweaking an existing structure; you’re relaunching with a clean slate. You’ll have the freedom to establish a fresh vision, create environments that connect deeply with students, and develop a volunteer team that’s equipped, empowered, and passionate. Long-Term Sustainability — Lead for the Future We’re committed to more than just quick wins. You’ll build systems, discipleship pathways, and leadership pipelines that will serve students and families for years to come. Our church is invested in providing the resources, staffing, and support you need to make a lasting impact. Reach More Students — Grow the Kingdom Sienna is a rare ministry field: seven schools within the community, thousands of students, and a culture that values connection and activity. You’ll have open doors for outreach, partnership with schools, and relational ministry that touches students both inside and outside the church walls. Professional Opportunity to Move Up — Develop as a Leader Your growth is just as significant as the growth of the students you lead. You’ll gain experience in leadership development, strategic planning, and disciple making; preparing you for expanded influence and future opportunities here at SCC. Why This Matters Sienna isn’t just a community where people live, it’s a place where lives intersect daily, where faith conversations can happen at the soccer field, the coffee shop, or the school hallway. You’ll be stepping into a context where ministry is relational, visible, and deeply needed.
