The Next Gen Ministry Coordinator at our Pickerington Campus is a part-time (32 hours/week) ministry leadership role that plays a key role in helping students discover and follow Jesus during some of the most formative years of their lives. This person will provide leadership, discipleship, and support for students in grades 6–12 at our Pickerington Campus, creating environments where students can grow in faith, build meaningful relationships, and experience authentic community.

Working closely with the Lead Pastor for our Pickerington Campus and the broader VC Students Team, the Next Ministry Coordinator will lead weekly student programming, support discipleship initiatives, develop and care for volunteer leaders, and help connect students to larger church-wide events and experiences. This role blends relational ministry with practical leadership, requiring someone who loves students, enjoys building teams, and can bring both creativity and organization to ministry environments.

This is an exciting opportunity to invest in the next generation by helping students take meaningful steps in their faith while building a safe, engaging, and spiritually formative ministry culture for students and families.

About us:

Vineyard Columbus exists to develop multiethnic communities of disciples who experience God, love one another, and partner with Christ to heal the world.

Our Pickerington Campus is located in a rapidly growing suburban community serving people from Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, Canal Winchester, Lithopolis, Baltimore, and surrounding areas. The congregation reflects the diversity of its community and values worship, discipleship, service, and life together across generations.

Beyond weekend services at multiple locations across Central Ohio, we serve our neighbors through ministries that address practical needs while creating opportunities to share the love of Jesus in tangible ways.
