The Evangelical Free Church of America seeks a Director of Student Ministries to join its national team based in Bloomington, MN, and lead the movement’s Student Ministries. The goal is to maximize student ministry leaders to reach and release the next generation with the Gospel. This is an exceptional opportunity for a high-capacity leader to work alongside the Executive Vice President of National Ministries, the National Ministries Directional Team, and the ReachStudents Council and lead this critical ministry toward maximum impact.
EFCA Student Ministries is a ministry filled with immense opportunity. Historically, the national Student Ministries office has facilitated disciple-making that has engaged hundreds of youth workers in multiple regions. The ReachStudents Council team, comprised of gifted regional EFCA student ministry leaders, has assisted in developing strong, aligned, and effective teams. The Challenge Conference, a week-long student conference that engages 5,500 high school students, is a biannual cornerstone of the ministry. Additionally, it was out of the national Student Ministries office that Apex Missions was also founded, a missional immersion experience for high school and college students. Bringing leadership to these areas, and intentionally investing in younger, diverse leaders from the entire country are all areas the ideal leader will find energizing.
The EFCA Director of Student Ministries is an important leadership role that requires someone with a deep commitment to Jesus, strong character and integrity, excellent relational skills, and a strategic mindset. The ideal candidate should have the ability to inspire and motivate others to pursue the vision and mission of the Student Ministry, and by extension, the EFCA. This individual will be a visionary and strategic thinker, who can cast a compelling vision for the future and articulate the steps required to achieve it. This leader will possess a deep understanding of the national landscape of student ministry and have experience in providing training, support, and resources to equip volunteers and staff to carry out their roles.
