Germantown United Methodist Church
Germantown, Tennessee
Visión general
Our church is on a mission to disciple teenagers into lifelong followers of Jesus — not just church attenders, but young people who know they are loved, equipped, and called.
We believe the middle & high school years are a critical window for spiritual formation. Teens need more than just a place to hang out. They need a community that’s safe, real, and rooted in grace. A place where they can ask hard questions, grow in their faith, and be mentored by adults who genuinely care.
Ahí es donde entras tú.
We’re looking for someone who brings energy, joy, and a deep love for students. Someone who can turn awkward silences into belly laughs, help a new student feel seen, and celebrate growth. You’ll partner with our Bible-teaching youth director to create the kind of youth group students want to invite their friends to — one that’s fun, welcoming, and grounded in Scripture.
If you’re outgoing, playful, passionate about helping students encounter Jesus, and ready to make a real impact, this could be your calling.
Qué harás
- Create a welcoming, high-energy environment every week that helps students feel at home and want to come back.
- Build relationships with students that go beyond church walls… showing up at games, grabbing coffee, texting encouragement, and being present.
- Bring the fun — plan engaging activities, lead silly games, and help make youth group something students look forward to.
- Support the teaching and discipleship work of our Youth Director by reinforcing biblical truths through connection, conversation, and creativity.
- Partner with volunteers and equip them to build meaningful connections with students.
- Contribute to larger youth events like retreats, camps, mission trips, and worship nights.
- Help shape the culture of our youth ministry into one that’s joy-filled, spiritually formative, and relentlessly welcoming.
