September 2026 – August 2027The Ministry Residency Program is a 12-month leadership development initiative. It is designed for those who have completed their college studies, or equivalency, and already have a sense of the calling/career path they want to pursue. The program is designed to be a bridge from college or secular career to ministry, giving residents invaluable ministry experience that will better prepare them for more permanent roles within the church.Within a specific area of ministry, residents will be given responsibilities comparable to that of a director. In addition, residents receive weekly leadership development training, ministry coaching, complete quarterly studies and lead ministry activities.Responsibilities/Duties:With oversight, implement, and share the global Grace Student vision with the campusPartner with surrounding schools to reach students for ChristJoin local youth ministry networks and engage and encourage students in their schools and activitiesLead and champion the effort to draw high school and middle school students to Jesus ChristRecruit, train, evaluate, and recognize volunteers for Grace StudentsEnsure that communication to students, volunteers, and parents is effectiveEnsure implementation of the follow-up process for Grace Students and guestsBuild and track annual Ministry Plan and Budget for Grace StudentsPlan and execute campus-specific student events to engage students and their guestsCoordinate with Grace Kids to ensure a seamless transition of 5th graders into middle schoolCultivate a close daily walk and relationship with ChristParticipate and learn to develop and lead teamsStrengthen love for Student MinistryAide in the execution of all Wednesday night servicesRecruit and develop adult leaders for Wednesday night services and High SchoolHuddlesLead and Serve in Grace FiftySix (G56)Required skills/Experience:Bachelor's degree or equivalent experienceExperience and passion for church and the communityMotivated to learn and leadGreat relational skills: full of faith, friendly, calm, and professionalExhibit a heart of passion, humility, and integrityExpectations:Accept and support the Grace Church Vision and ValuesExhibit a servant's heart and willingness to get the job done well and on timeEnsure good stewardship of ministry funds and resourcesAct as a positive representative of Grace Church at all timesMaintain complete confidentiality with all sensitive pieces of informationCommunicate and present information to others in a clear, complete and concise wayHave a good sense of humor and ability to have fun while working hard as part of a teamAnticipate needs by understanding the expectations, previous history, and potential outcomesExhibit a heart of passion, humility, integrityMaintain a positive attitude while being mission-drivenWork Schedule:Mon & Tues: 8:30am – 5:00pm; Wed: 11:00am – 9:00pm; Thurs: 8:30am –5:00pm; Sun: 7:30am – 12:30pm; Ministry Special events#J-18808-Ljbffr
