Walking alongside young people in faith and life
Youth pastor with eight years leading youth ministry at a church in Nashville. Walks alongside young people in faith and life — building a welcoming youth community, teaching and leading worship in a way that connects, mentoring teenagers through real struggles, and being a steady, trusted adult in their corner. Grew the youth group significantly and is trusted by parents and teens alike. Leads youth programmes and teaching, mentors and counsels young people, plans events and trips, supports families, and develops volunteer leaders. Warm, genuine and dependable. Looking for a youth-pastor role with a church that wants its young people genuinely known, discipled and cared for, not just entertained.
