LifePoint Crossing in Blue Springs, MO is seeking a part-time youth leader.
Who we are:
LifePoint Crossing is a church which seeks to be both conservative in theology and appropriate for people with any range of starting points. We strive to speak genuine and sometimes very difficult truth in an environment and community of overwhelming grace for people who are not finished products, which is everybody. We aim to be somewhat less “fluffy” than many seeker-sensitive or seeker-driven churches while remaining a safe, fun, and welcoming community for people who would not identify as “church people” or even Christians.
Our mission is to “Life a Bigger Story,” which translates into finding the life that God has created you for by giving yourself to something greater than yourself, ultimately in finding and following Jesus to the glory of God.
Current Sunday morning attendance is around 60, for which demographics of age, race, education, and economic status are quite varied. Services are designed to be done with as much excellence as is possible, but without pretense or becoming a “show” – if something goes wrong, it’s not a disaster, it’s a chance to laugh and not take ourselves too seriously. Music is modern, sometimes with a full band experience (combination of live musicians and backing tracks), sometimes just a guitar and a voice.
The youth currently consist of a smaller but tremendously lovable group, generally of junior highers. There are some high school kids as well, but they typically don’t attend the youth functions. A couple of great volunteers are already plugged in, and with some excitement and friend bringing, it definitely has the potential to grow quickly.
Who we are looking for:
An individual who is fully committed to a life of love and service to God and people, who is committed to the authority of Scripture, who is well grounded in Scripture and faith, and who also understands the realities of growing up as a teenager in the real world. Clean criminal record, evidence of Christ-like character, integrity, and maturity, and a heart for youth are definitely required. I’m sure you also have some political views, and I do not care what they are — but I do care a great deal about the manner in which they are or are not expressed. (And a dash of personality would be really, really nice.)
What we can offer:
We can offer either:
1) $1,000 monthly salary;
or
2) a not updated or beautiful but perfectly functional house in which to live, utilities etc. all included. Location is amazing, 1/2 mile off of I-70 and Woods Chapel Rd (immediately next to the church building.)
And really — a chance to make a HUGE impact on some beautiful, precious lives. None of us are being paid a lot, and we know life is expensive and would like to think this piece could grow. For now we hope this is enough to make it possible for the right person.
