Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Take My Church's High School Job

10. Competitive Pay and Benefits. We pay really well and have great benefits (including seminary scholarships).

9. Great Facilities. We have great offices, decent facilities, and above average media resources.

8. Location. Location. Location. Granted you are moving to the 9th most expensive place in the country, but a lot of cool benefits come along with it. Our school districts are some of the best in the country and the sky is the limit what you could do with such brillant kids. There are also a lot of great Starbucks for relational ministry!

7. Endless Outreach Possibilties. There aren't a lot of thriving youth ministries in our part of the suburbs. There are a lot of youth who aren't being reached by anyone (Willow Creek is at least 45 minutes away).

6. Solid Small Group Base. Community is a high value at our church and it is best modeled by our youth ministry.

5. Progressive Confirmation Program. I know confirmation scares a lot of people away, but it is actually very cool. Our mentor-based program is a very effective transition into high school. It goes along way to pregventing that huge drop-off that many churches experience.

4. Strong Middle School Ministry. You would partner with a middle school pastor who believes in your high school ministry and will work year-round to prepare kids for a healthy transition.

3. Parents. I have found our parents to be an amazing untapped resource. They are just waiting to be asked to serve. They have found that happy medium between neglectful and smothering!

2. Amazing Senior Pastor. He GETS youth ministry and will be your biggest fan! The rest of our staff is pretty cool too!

1. Passionate Young Followers of Jesus. Our kids desperately want to know Jesus Christ. They want to share their story with their peers and caring adults and connect it to the story God is telling.
