Youth Minister Part Time

Are you passionate about seeing middle and high school students come to know Jesus, grow in

their faith, and live out their calling?

 

Oakridge Baptist Church is a warm, relational Southern Baptist congregation in the St. Louis

Metro region in the city of St. Peters, MO. We are a church family that deeply values community,

discipleship, and supporting the next generation. We are seeking a part-time Youth Minister to

help lead, guide, and champion our youth (6th–12th grade) as they navigate their faith journey.

If you are looking for a ministry environment where you can disciple students and lead them to

proclaim the gospel, we would love to meet you!

 

Why You’ll Love Serving Here:

• True Flexibility: While you will have a dedicated personal office available for study,

prep, and meetings, there are no required office hours. We value your time and encourage

a healthy ministry-life balance.

• Supportive Leadership: You will work directly alongside our Senior Pastor and a

collaborative Ministry Coordination Team that is genuinely invested in your success,

growth, and family.

• A Place to Build and Dream: You will have the creative freedom to develop a fresh,

vibrant vision for our youth ministry in alignment with our church’s mission.

 

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities):

• Discipleship & Teaching: Lead and oversee the educational side of the youth ministry

(Sunday School, small groups, and other times). You will serve as the primary teacher for

our youth on Wednesday nights.

• Events & Fellowship: Plan, organize, and execute engaging regular activities, including

monthly events, camps, retreats, outreach, and Bible studies.

• Team Leadership: Counsel with church leadership to recruit, enlist, and equip adult

volunteers who love working with students.

• Partnering with Parents: Maintain clear, regular communication with parents and

volunteers regarding upcoming events, curriculum, and youth news.

• Stewardship & Collaboration: Propose and manage a yearly youth budget and serve as an

active, collaborative member of our Ministry Coordination Team.

 

Who We Are Looking For (Qualifications):

• A Committed Disciple: A born-again believer with a clear personal testimony of faith in

Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Your life should reflect a priority on your personal

relationship with God, spouse, and family.• A Clear Calling: Someone with an open, authentic calling to serve youth and walk with

them through these critical developmental years.

• Doctrinal Alignment: Full agreement with and adherence to the Baptist Faith and

Message 2000.

• An Engaged Member: A commitment to attend weekly worship services and actively

participate in the life of our church community.

• Experience: Prior experience in youth ministry is a plus, but it is not required. We are

happy to mentor and walk alongside someone stepping into their first ministry role!

• Safety First: Must successfully pass a comprehensive background check.

 

Compensation & Benefits:

• Position Type: Part-Time

• Pay: Competitive part-time salary, paid weekly

• Work Environment: Dedicated personal office space provided on-site (no mandatory

office hours)

• Time Off: Paid Time Off (PTO) included
