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

  • Approximately 25–35 students participate on a typical Sunday.

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

  • An established team of approximately 15 adult volunteers serves throughout the ministry.

  • 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.

  • 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.

This is a leader of leaders. Your primary focus is equipping parents and volunteers, not leading kids directly, so the ministry drives life change, spiritual momentum, and family engagement.

  • Disciple and equip parents to lead their kids spiritually at home

  • Recruit and develop a strong volunteer team ready for growth

  • Help shape the ministry as the campus expands

Who You Are

  • 5+ years leading a kids ministry, or serving as the #2 in kids ministry at a sizable church

  • High-energy, proactive, and comfortable at a fast pace without needing to be pushed on vision

  • A builder of people who’d rather multiply leaders than run the room

  • A fit for a close-knit, fun, resilient team that takes the work seriously without taking itself too seriously

  • In full agreement with Compass’s beliefs, including its teaching on baptism

Executive Minister of Discipleship

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.

This person is a proven ministry leader with strong character, work ethic, and credibility, capable of earning trust quickly within the congregation.

This individual is not driven by title or position but by influence and service, embracing a team-oriented environment where leadership is earned, not assumed.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree from a Bible college or ministry-related program (required).

  • 6–10 years of ministry experience with demonstrated leadership responsibility.

  • Proven ability to develop and lead teams (staff or high-level volunteers).

  • Strong alignment with Restoration Movement theology and philosophy.

  • Demonstrated passion and effectiveness in outreach and community engagement.

Key Responsibilities

  • Champion and lead outreach efforts to strengthen the church’s presence and impact in the local community.

  • Provide leadership to non-age-based ministry teams (e.g., first impressions, safety, men’s/women’s ministry, facilities).

  • Serve as a key contributor to the preaching team and overall teaching direction of the church.
