Grace Episcopal Church Youth Leader Job Description

Youth ministry is essential to the spiritual development of our young people of Grace church. It is not our ministry to them, but rather their ministry to themselves, each other, and to the greater church community. Young people can discover and nurture their gifts and talents, and can develop their faith in a practical and beneficial setting. Essential to any effective youth ministry is the support of the adults around them - a reminder that they are not just the future of the church, but are an important, viable part of the church that can accomplish great things in the here and now.

Our Grace Youth ministry needs your support and you can help support our parish youth ministry! While there are adult leaders who regularly work with our youth, the youth leaders cannot do it alone. Grace Youth Ministry is always in need of adult parishioner support. Do you feel called to give that support?
