About the Students Pastor Position:

Student Ministries includes grades 5-12th at Lakepoint Church, and it’s growing quickly. We had 16 students in average attendance back in 2019, it grew to 30 by 2021, 40 by 2023, 60 by 2024, and even without any outside friend growth (which there is plenty), we will be at 75 with the new incoming class Summer of 2025. There are a few things we can attribute the growth to:

1. A number of students who are really owning their faith and are on mission to help their friends find Jesus.
2. A really strong base of 18 adult leaders who are pouring into these students.
3. A 5-year running transition program that allows for 5th and 6th grade students to attend both Sunday morning kids ministry and Wednesday night students ministry.
4. Simple, meaningful connections with Jesus and each other that are worth coming back for.

We have had part-time students pastors in the past, but currently, we have had Lakepoint’s Lead Pastor running High School and our Discipleship Pastor running Middle School for three years. It’s time for us to jump back in with a Pastor of their own for our students. This time, we are planning to bring them in full-time.

Responsibilities:

1. Spiritual Leadership: Lead a vitalized experience by which our students know who Jesus is to them personally, feel Jesus in their hearts, and live the ways of Jesus contextualized to their everyday lives.
2. Program Development: Plan engaging games, gatherings, and events on a weekly basis.
3. Teams: Draw team members in with outstanding leadership, develop them in their personal gifting, and connect and coordinate them together.
4. Discipleship: Develop a discipleship strategy that helps students build a strong foundation in their faith and prepares them for a lifetime of following Christ.
5. Outreach: Reach students outside our church with good news and equip Lakepoint students to reach their everyday circles.
6. Parent Partnership: Engage and equip parents to support their child’s spiritual development at home.
7. Communication: Maintain regular communication with students, parents, and the church community regarding ministry activities and events.
8. Administrative Duties: Oversee the student ministry budget, ensure safety policies are followed, and handle other administrative responsibilities as needed.
9. Lakepoint Church-Wide Pastoring: Function as a member of the church’s pastoral staff providing church-wide connections and care.
10. Culture: Demonstrate a love for the distinctives of Lakepoint Church.
11. Church Planting (Optional): Applicants for this position have the option to add “Church Planter in Residence” to their role.

Qualifications:

• A personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ, and a commitment to leading a Jesus-centered life.
• Bachelor’s degree in ministry, theology, or a related field (preferred).
• Strong communication, leadership, and organizational skills.
• Ability to connect with students in an authentic, relational way.
• Experience leading and mentoring a volunteer team.
• A heart for the local church and a passion for developing the next generation of Jesus-followers.
• Ability to align with Lakepoint Church’s mission, vision, and core values.

Compensation:

Lakepoint Church offers a competitive salary, benefits package, and opportunities for professional development. Compensation will be based on experience and qualifications.

To Apply:

Please send your resume, cover letter, and any relevant materials to Brian Hofmeister, Lead Pastor, [e-mail], with the subject line “Students Pastor Application – [Your Name].” Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.

What It’s Like to Live in Muskego, Wisconsin:
