Youth Pastor

  • Church Name: Riverview Community Church
  • Church Website: https://www.rccashland.org
  • Church City: Ashland
  • Church State: NE
  • Church Denomination: Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA)

    Here’s the deal:

    We are looking for someone who loves Jesus and loves students.

    Bottom line:

    You’re passionate about helping students become more like Jesus and reaching students who are far from Jesus.

    What you’ll do:

    You want to see students living out their faith in the church, community, and world. Students are not just part of the next generation; they are part of the church now! You might take students on a mission trip, or on a trip through their Bible, or on a short trip to Bluejays Ice Cream & Candy (probably not in that order J)! Or maybe you’ll teach them some humility and show them who’s boss in 9 square!

    As a Pastor/Shepherd:

    You love the Word of God and love teaching it to students. You want to see them grow in their faith through large group, small group, or one-on-one opportunities. As a pastor at RCC, you might preach on a Sunday morning, officiate a wedding, or provide wise counsel to students or parents. Also, you will love leading and guiding our adult volunteers as you speak into their lives!

    Education/Experience:

    Bible college and seminary training are great, but let’s chat if you haven’t pursued either. Also, you’ll definitely get our attention if you have previous youth pastor experience!

    Salary/Benefits:

    $70,000 – $90,000+ (really depends on your experience/education). We offer great benefits like a housing allowance, retirement, vacation, etc. You also get to live in the beautiful Ashland community, which is just minutes from Omaha, Lincoln, and some of the best state parks in Nebraska. We also care about your growth, so we want you to have opportunities to develop through conferences, training, and/or local youth pastor clusters.
