Fox Valley Church in West Dundee, IL is looking for a Student and Families Pastor to continue the good work that has been happening, as a strong foundation of ministry has been laid in the student and family areas of the church.
As a church that draws regionally, several middle and high schools are represented in the student ministry at Fox Valley. This is a great opportunity to intentionally engage a variety of students that are outside the church with a strategic, outward focus while also investing in the solid core that is active and involved. There is further opportunity to partner with the children’s ministry to work together to effectively minister to the whole family. This position has the added opportunity for significantly increased influence within the Fox Valley staff and community. As the ministry grows, and the added growth requires more staff, this pastor could be called upon to recruit, build, and oversee a paid student and family team, becoming the Next Gen Pastor.
Modeling a leadership that is dependent on the Holy Spirit and committed to Biblical teaching, this pastor will live out an authentic witness that is centered on a relationship with Christ. The ideal pastor will cast a compelling vision, draw people into greater participation, and build off of existing momentum. Fox Valley desires a pastor who is experienced in leading and loving students. With an energizing, relational, and engaging personality, this dynamic leader will possess the ability to equip and empower volunteers, the student leadership team, communicate and partner with parents, and generate an enthusiasm to draw students “on the fringe” to explore the ministry.
Fox Valley Church is located 35 miles northwest of Chicago. While enjoying its close proximity to the city with easy access to commuter trains and highways, West Dundee is still able to maintain its quaintness and charm. Nestled along the banks of the Fox River, the West Dundee area is a great place to live with its fantastic neighborhoods, quality schools, beautiful forest preserves, and easy access to shops, stores, and restaurants.
