Job description

Student Minister

Creekside Christian Church | St. Johns, Florida

Creekside Christian Church is a growing, thriving church located just outside Jacksonville, Florida. Our mission is to reach the world with Jesus, one person at a time, by creating biblical disciples in relational environments.

We believe the next generation matters, and we are passionate about creating environments where students encounter Jesus, build authentic relationships, and develop a faith that lasts a lifetime.

We are looking for a passionate, relational, and creative Student Minister who loves Jesus, loves students, and wants to make a lasting impact on the next generation.

This leader will help shape a student ministry where teenagers are excited to belong, challenged to grow, and equipped to live out their faith. Working alongside our Family Ministry team, the Student Minister will play a key role in developing engaging ministry experiences, building relationships, and raising up students and volunteers who are passionate about following Jesus.

What You’ll Do

• Build Relationships: Connect with students, invest in their lives, and help them take meaningful steps toward Jesus.
• Create Engaging Experiences: Plan and lead weekly gatherings, worship experiences, small groups, and events that students want to be part of.
• Develop Leaders: Recruit, equip, and empower volunteers to disciple students and create a welcoming ministry environment.
• Partner with Parents: Build strong relationships with families and equip parents to lead spiritually at home.
• Teach and Disciple: Communicate biblical truth in relevant, engaging ways that help students navigate life and grow in their faith.
• Lead with Creativity: Help shape student worship, social media, outreach, and programming that connects with today’s generation.
• Collaborate with the Team: Work alongside church leadership to strengthen the ministry and advance Creekside’s mission.

Our Culture

At Creekside, we believe healthy leaders build healthy ministries. We value authentic relationships, teamwork, creativity, and a genuine passion for reaching people.

Our staff culture is built around four characteristics: Humble, Hungry, Holy, and Smart.

We’re looking for someone who brings energy and initiative, loves being part of a team, welcomes feedback, and cares more about making disciples than building a platform. We work hard, have fun, celebrate life change, and believe ministry is better when we do it together.

Who We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate is a spiritually mature, relationally gifted leader who connects naturally with students and adults. They are organized, creative, teachable, and passionate about developing others.

A bachelor’s degree and at least one year of vocational ministry experience are required. A Christian college degree is preferred.

Why Creekside?

Creekside is in an exciting season of growth, and we believe the best days of ministry are ahead. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team, invest in a growing community, and help shape a student ministry that makes an eternal difference.

If you’re passionate about helping the next generation know Jesus and live on mission, we’d love to connect with you.
