Church: Westgate Church, Weston, MA 
Position: Student Minister (PT)
Open To: Men
Job Description: This person will assist with our junior and senior high ministries by providing leadership and ministering the gospel to students, helping them become rooted, grow, and bear fruit as part of a gospel-centered community living each day on mission for Christ. This position is for a two or three year term, and also includes opportunities to preach and gain general pastoral ministry experience in addition to student ministry.
The full position profile is available here: www.westgate-church.org/job-student-minister
Candidate Description: The Student Minister holds an important shepherding role within the church, and is held to the same standard as elders. This man must therefore meet the following qualifications:

• a personal relationship with Jesus Christ marked by spiritual maturity, humility, joy, love, prayer, and an utter dependence on the gospel of Jesus.
• a life that accords with the character qualifications for elders laid out in I Timothy 3:1-7 and Titus 1:5-9
• agreement with Westgate Church's Statement of Faith
• agreement with and desire to live out Westgate Church's Vision Statement
• agreement with and willingness to serve in accordance with the values and philosophy of our student and family ministries

The Student Minister must be a capable leader who is organized, relates well with people, and is able to fulfill his responsibilities. He should be both a self-starter and a team player, able to work in concert with the pastoral staff and lay ministry leaders while thinking beyond the traditional youth group model and working creatively to engage students with the gospel.
The Student Minister's previous experience will likely include either an undergraduate ministry degree, 4+ years of youth ministry experience, or some combination of the two. He will preferably be enrolled in or planning to pursue a master's level degree toward a career in pastoral ministry.
