Student Pastor
New Life Christian Church
Winchester, Virginia
Church Overview
New Life Christian Church is a growing, community-focused congregation in Winchester, Virginia, averaging approximately 450 people each Sunday. Founded in 1997, New Life has grown from meeting under a picnic shelter to a thriving multi-building campus, including a modern 350-seat worship facility opened in 2022.
New Life is deeply committed to serving its community and creating a church culture where staff, volunteers, students, and families genuinely do life together. The church is known for its generosity, community partnerships, modern worship, conversational and expository preaching, and commitment to developing people for ministry.
About the Student Ministry

Students gather during both Sunday morning services, with middle and high school gatherings on Sunday evenings.

Students actively participate in worship, children's ministry, VBS, church-wide serving opportunities, and community projects.
The ministry participates in experiences such as CIY MIX and MOVE and emphasizes developing students as leaders within the larger church.
The Opportunity
New Life is looking for a Student Pastor who is a leader of leaders. Rather than building a ministry dependent on one person's personality or abilities, the next Student Pastor will equip volunteers and students to take meaningful ownership of the ministry.
The new leader will inherit an established group of students, committed volunteers, supportive church leadership, and significant potential for continued growth.
The Ideal Candidate
A team builder who equips volunteers and students rather than trying to do everything personally.
A strong communicator who connects effectively with students, parents, volunteers, and church leadership.
A leader who recognizes potential in students and intentionally develops and empowers them.
Humble, self-aware, teachable, organized, and dependable.
A relational team player who wants to participate in the life of the whole church, not operate student ministry as a silo.
Experience & Qualifications
Student ministry experience is preferred, particularly experience developing volunteers and student leaders.
Bible college graduates and candidates with strong residency, internship, camp, or ministry leadership experience will be considered.
The candidate should be comfortable teaching Scripture and serving as the primary communicator within the student ministry.

Troy Christian Church
Troy, Ohio
Church Overview
Troy Christian Church is a 75-year-old congregation currently averaging 275–300 in attendance after navigating seasons of decline, leadership turnover, and rebuilding. Over the past five years, the church has intentionally refocused on its core discipleship model—prioritizing strong teaching, small groups, volunteer engagement, and community life—resulting in a healthier, more unified culture. The church is led by an experienced Lead Minister and a multi-generational elder team that has shifted its focus from operations to shepherding and equipping. With a recently launched 10-year vision aimed at doubling attendance and relocating to a new campus, Troy is financially positioned for growth (including significant land and cash reserves) and believes it is on the verge of a breakthrough season. The church recognizes the need for an additional high-capacity leader to help move from stability into sustained growth and community impact.

Bachelor’s degree from a Bible college or ministry-related program (required).
6–10 years of ministry experience with demonstrated leadership responsibility.
