Youth Ministry Assistant (1/2-time position)

Ebenezer Baptist Church (Saskatoon, SK)

Ebenezer Baptist Church (EBC) in Saskatoon, SK is currently seeking for an individual with a passion for Youth Ministry. This role serves as administrative and creative support for our Youth Ministry, with a focus on detail, organization, and strategic connection.

Our mission as a church is to point people to Jesus and help them to know and follow him.

Our vision is to establish and multiply multi-ethnic and multi-generational gatherings of Jesus followers who practically and authentically live their faith in every part of their lives and challenge others to do the same. We do this through a process called discipleship. We define a disciple as someone who abides in Christ and takes on the character, ways, and mission of Jesus and helps others to do the same.

Candidates must be administrative in nature, willing to support the youth ministry by serving with creativity and with logistics. Thriving in this role means having a heart that is both passionate about people and organizational infrastructure.

While the core of this role is administrative and creative, there is openness to shape aspects of it around the gifts the individual hired — for example, if they are a gifted communicator, teacher, or have other ministry strengths.

GENERAL QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.

  • Character qualities of a biblical elder as described in 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9.
