Columbus Evangelical Church (Columbus, MT) Youth Pastor

The Big Picture

Columbus Evangelical Church (columbuse.church) is seeking a Youth Pastor who will emphasize ministry for youth, but will also provide opportunities to minister to the larger church body in regular Sunday worship services.

The Church

Columbus Evangelical Church is a multi-staff church with a growing and healthy congregation. We have seen God’s provision and transformation in our church and community over the last two years. Our future youth pastor would be starting with an established group of youth, but would be enabled with the freedom to make changes to help the ministry be even more fruitful. Our church staff is team driven and there is a sense of family. Therefore, our future youth pastor will be involved collaboratively in our larger church vision and event planning.
