Visión general
Germantown UMC is on a mission to disciple students into lifelong followers of Jesus – not just church attenders, but young people who know they are loved, equipped, and called. We believe the teenage 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 the spiritual wins (even the small ones). You’ll partner with our staff and volunteers to create the kind of youth group students want to invite their friends to – one that’s fun, welcoming, and grounded in Scripture.
Si usted es extrovertido, juguetón, apasionado por ayudar a los estudiantes a encontrar a Jesús, y listo para hacer un impacto real - esta podría ser su vocación.
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.
- Teach and support discipleship 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
Quién eres
- You love Jesus and have a passion for discipling teenagers.

- You believe fun and faith don’t have to be separate.
- You’re grounded in kindness, patience, and joy.
- You’re committed and responsible.
- You know how to work on a team and can take initiative without needing a spotlight.
- You’re reliable and organized enough to make sure things actually happen.
Puntos extra si...

- Are willing to dress up in a goofy costume or take a pie to the face for the sake of the group.
