The Assistant Director of Student Ministries (Girls) serves in a shared ministry leadership role focused on the intentional pursuit, shepherding, and discipleship of female middle and high school students. Rooted in gospel faithfulness, this role emphasizes relational engagement, prayerful presence, and collaboration with staff, volunteers, parents, and church leadership — enabling the person in this role to know, love, value, and pursue female students as they grow to become faithful, fruitful followers of Jesus.
This is an entry-level, full-time, salaried position, serving under the leadership of the Senior Director of Student Ministries and the oversight of the Student Ministry Council, and within the spiritual oversight of FPC’s pastoral leadership and Session. This role requires affirming the Essentials of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church and the Westminster Confession of Faith.
The good news of Jesus Christ is the heartbeat of Student Ministries at First Presbyterian Church. The Assistant Director is expected to live and lead from a growing dependence on Christ through personal devotion, corporate worship, and active participation in the life of the church — pursuing a consistent rhythm of Scripture, prayer, worship, and community, and modeling a gospel-shaped life marked by humility, repentance, joy, and love.
Shepherd students — Actively pursue relationships with female middle and high school students, both within and beyond scheduled gatherings; ensure no student is overlooked, disconnected, or forgotten; pray regularly for and with students, offering encouragement, care, and spiritual guidance.
Disciple toward maturity — Teach in biblically grounded, gospel-driven, developmentally appropriate ways; help girls grow in understanding and applying Scripture to everyday life; support and equip volunteer leaders who walk alongside students.
Partner with parents — Communicate and foster relationships with the parents of female students as the primary disciple-makers of their daughters; leverage age-specific programming to equip parents in each phase of adolescence.
Cultivate gospel witness — Encourage girls to pray for and engage unbelieving friends with humility and love; teach students to articulate the gospel clearly and winsomely; support outreach-oriented events.
Lead in service — Help girls grow in Christlike love through opportunities for sacrificial service in the church and broader community.
Ministry with students regularly includes evenings, weekends, and special events such as retreats, trips, and seasonal programming. While this role does not follow a rigid weekly schedule, the Assistant Director is expected to steward time responsibly, maintain healthy rhythms of work and rest, and be present for core ministry gatherings, team meetings, and relational opportunities with students and families.
