Who We’re Looking For: We’re seeking someone with a genuine love for kids and youth, a strong biblical foundation, and the ability to lead with creativity, compassion, and vision.

  • Connect and Care: Build genuine, Christ-centered relationships with kids, teens, and families, showing them the love of Jesus in both word and action.
  • Equip and Empower: Empower young leaders by involving them in ministry and providing opportunities for spiritual growth, discipleship, and service.
  • Collaborate and Lead: Work closely with the Logan campus team and Gateway’s wider family to ensure consistent support, resources, and community-building initiatives.

About you

  • Heart for Ministry: You love Jesus, love His church, and are committed to leading others to follow Him.
  • Experience: You have experience working with children and youth in a church or ministry setting.
  • Leadership Skills: You are an engaging leader, able to connect with young people and motivate teams of volunteers.
  • Team Player: You thrive in a collaborative environment and are eager to work with the broader Gateway community to bring Kingdom impact to Logan.
