Banquo Christian Church in Banquo, IN is seeking a part time youth pastor. Banquo Christian Church is an independent Christian church located 10-15 minutes from the towns of La Fontaine and Andrews; and 15-20 minutes from the cities of Marion and Huntington. Our vision is to glorify God by fulfilling the mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ in the power of His Spirit.

The primary focus of the ministry will be Jr. and Sr. High School students. Duties will include:

• Modeling faithful service to Jesus Christ and His church
• Teaching Sunday school
• Teaching Wednesday evenings
• Plan and lead in outreach and ministry activities
• Plan and lead in recreational-fellowship activities

There are already ministries and leaders in place for younger children, so your responsibilities toward elementary age students would be extremely minimal. You would certainly be welcome to help out with younger children, but would not be expected to. The only exception would be the week of VBS during which you would be expected to help coordinate the involvement of the teens in the program. (Last year we used Answers in Genesis curriculum.)

Currently the group averages 6-8 in attendance. Latitude and empowerment will be given to the person who demonstrates faithfulness and responsibility. You will find a solid core of people who will be eager to do whatever they can to help your ministry and service prosper.

Qualifications include: Knowledge of the Bible and ability to teach it; demonstrated record of service in a local church; a desire to see Christ formed in the lives of the youth.

This will be a paid position, but you will almost certainly need another source of income.

Culver Bible Church, located approximately one hour west of Winona Lake, In., is seeking a youth director for their teens.  This church is located in the beautiful lakeside community of Culver, home of Lake Maxinkuckee and Culver Military Academy.

Culver Bible Church is an independent church of about 25 people.  Their pastor, Daniel Huhn (Grace  College and Seminary graduate) has been ministering there since 1977.  Currently they have 5 teens, with the hope of growing.  The teens are a great group of kids, two of the girls having been Child Evangelism Fellowship summer missionaries for 2-3 years, and a third girl considering it for this summer.

Job description includes meeting with the teens about once a week, could be during the morning Sunday School, or maybe Sunday evening.  This would be ideal for a married couple, but a single guy would be great, too.  Meals, gas reimbursement would be provided, along with housing if needed for the night.

Salary will be meager (the pastor himself has to work outside the church) but the challenges and opportunities are abundant.   For example, in this little town of 1000 population and eight churches, we are the only church who consistently preaches the gospel.   There is no competition.  Even though this community is hard, the church is warm with a family atmosphere.

If you are interested and/or have any questions please contact Rev. Huhn (dan.huhn@sbcglobal.net) today!
