MISSION: Our mission is to lead unchurched people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ

VISION: To be the Perfect Place for Imperfect People

MODEL: South Hills Church is a community-modeled church with multiple campuses

We believe in reaching new and different people, by trying new and different things. And we believe we grow more in circles than we do in rows.

DESCRIPTION: Imagine being part of a church that is so committed to reaching families that they intentionally make sure that from birth through young adulthood, is fully served. Regardless of their family background, structure or dysfunction, all family members are welcomed, loved and supported. Therefore, we are is seeking a highly relational leader that has a passion and vision to reach and support as they navigate life, school/work and relationships. This leader must be a self-starter, growth oriented and strong team player.

If this sounds like you... keep reading!

This leader must be able to engage and foster meaningful connections with students and parents. This leader must build and equip a strong team of volunteers and leaders to promote relational development and discipleship with students. Primary responsibilities for the Youth Director exist on Wednesdays at South Hills Students services, but active engagement with students and parents is expected on Sundays as well

This leader must have a heart to reach out and impact our community and must be able to create activities and experiences that balance growth for believers with comfortable inclusion of unbelievers. South Hills is, first and foremost, a “church for the unchurched,” which puts our organization in the unique position of finding ways to radically welcome and accommodate first time guests while also building a church community in which those who have been following Jesus for long periods of time can still actively grow.

A leader whose skills, expertise, and personal calling equips them to work specifically with students (6th-12th Grade). The Youth Director is supported and held accountable by the Family Pastor at South Hills Corona and works ultimately in service to our church and community.
