New Life Church is looking for a self-motivated, energetic follower of Christ with a heart for the next generation.  This is a full-time position with room for personal and professional growth for a candidate who has a definite call into ministry and has a humble, teachable servant’s heart.  Our mission is to introduce Middle School and High School students to Jesus, help them follow Him, and be intentional in reaching others for Christ.  The ideal candidate would partner with parents, families, and our ministry team to help these students meet and follow Jesus effectively.
