Pastor for Youth & Young Adults in Winnipeg, MB


Pastor for Youth & Young Adults
River East Mennonite Brethren Church, Winnipeg, MB

We are looking for a full-time pastor, with primary responsibility for ministry among youth and young adults. The candidate will join a pastoral leadership team that equips us to be faithful followers of Jesus in our postmodern culture. River East MB Church is a congregation of just over 200 members, spanning five generations. We are a community that values a wide range of perspectives. The congregation has recently discerned three callings that will guide us into the years ahead: we are committed to honest encounter with God in worship, to spiritual formation within our congregation, and to being agents of reconciliation in our world.

 
The person we are seeking will be firmly rooted in faith in Jesus and will be welcoming to all, especially to young persons. The candidate will be willing to engage with the diverse theological and spiritual journeys of those in our congregation and those who consider making our congregation their home.

 Responsibilities:

  • Lead, direct, and facilitate vision-setting for the congregation's youth ministry
  • Build and nurture relationships with youth and young adults, including mentoring and pastoral care
  • Nurture the spiritual formation of our youth through the youth program and one-on-one
    encounters
  • Equip volunteer youth leaders and develop opportunities for their encouragement and growth
  • Foster intergenerational engagement
  • Participate in the worship life of the congregation (including planning and leading worship, occasional preaching and teaching)
  • Seek appropriate ways to reach out into our community
  • Participation in a collaborative pastoral team that shares a variety of additional ministry responsibilities

 Qualifications: B.A. or graduate degree. Some pastoral or youth-related experience preferred.

 Position Description may be modified at time of appointment, considering the candidate's gifts and the congregation's needs.  

 Questions may be addressed to Agnes Hubert (tel.: 204-668-2543) or Lori Wiebe (cell: 204-479-4928)

Send letter of application, C.V., and names of 3 references to Search Committee, REMB.
